Are you afraid of your landlord raising your rent? Do you fear retaliation from your landlord if you ask for a repair to be done in your apartment? 

If your answer is yes, you need Good Cause Eviction to be passed in New York State!

Join SWBTU in collaboration with Fifth Avenue Committee, Housing Justice for All and NYS-DSA for a day of canvassing your neighbors on April 24th at 11am. This canvass is part of a larger response to Gov. Kathy Hochul's Millionaire Budget released last week, that failed to deliver any semblance of relief to New Yorkers struggling to afford rent amidst an ongoing pandemic. With just 6 weeks left in the legislative session, we have to fight to pass Good Cause Eviction, to protect renters from rent increases & unjust evictions. 

State Senator Andrew Gounardes, whose new district includes parts of Gowanus, Boerum Hill, and Carroll Gardens, has not signed on to support Good Cause Eviction yet. So we are getting out to the streets as his new constituents to let him know we need him to throw in his support for Good Cause -- critical legislation that would protect millions of renters from exorbitant rent hikes and prevent thousands of arbitrary evictions. 

Join us on Sunday 4/24 at 11 am at Carroll Park (SE corner of President and Smith St) at 11am. Click here to sign up!
