The Rent Refusers Network of housed and unhoused neighbors has joined together to abolish the predatory rent system. By building collective power we will take back our communities from the landlords and corporations that now control them.

hey is it good that a homeless advocacy group has to call out an NYC-DSA co-chair for misleading people about zohran’s homeless encampment sweep policy?

Putting homeless people in jail makes their situation worse. As Downtown Women’s Center CEO Amy Turk told ABC News, “I’ve never seen incarceration work to end homelessness. I’ve only seen that extend homelessness.” san.com/opinions/clearing-te…

It seems unlikely that eric adams will not see this as a greenlight and attempt to impose some kind of grants pass like law on our own homeless population

PYM's response to recent attacks and demonization of the Palestinian liberation movement in the United States by opportunists and members of the so-called "American left": For the last 9 months, people all across the United States have organized in opposition to Israel’s genocide, and for the last 9 months, the Biden administration has ignored our mass movement, continuing to arm and facilitate this genocide. Biden and all elected officials who have endorsed him have blood of over 40,000 Palestinians on their hands. Elected officials — self-proclaimed as progressive or otherwise — who have voted to send money to the Zionist entity, or who have vilified the movement for Palestine, have the blood of our people on their hands. As we near the 2024 elections, we know that these same elected officials will try to garner support from our community and movement. They, alongside the so-called progressive organizations endorsing them, will use the rhetoric of “lesser of two evils,” “vote out fascism” and “vote blue no matter who” to try to pressure us to back the very politicians responsible for genocide. And when we refuse — which we will — they will blame Palestinian organizations and communities for Republican victories. Let us be clear: the Democrats have no one to blame but themselves. In the last few weeks, Democratic Socialists of America electeds Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Jamaal Bowman smeared the Palestine movement, targeting @WOLPalestine for organizing a protest outside an exhibit meant to manufacture further consent for the genocide of our people. Following these smears and in response to AOC, Bowman, and Sanders’ endorsement of genocider-in-chief Joe Biden, WOL called for a protest outside a rally organized by AOC. What followed was a smear campaign against WOL, with so called progressives aiming to fed-jacket WOL for holding DSA electeds accountable. For the past few years, PYM and the broader Palestine movement has sought to hold DSA accountable for its relationship and support for elected candidates who directly and materially support Israel and the Zionist movement through their votes for military aid, repression of the Palestine movement, and repeated attacks and smears of our movement. As a result of these efforts, we have witnessed DSA members smear, vilify, and fed-jacket our organization and members, as well as DSA members who support a more principled and concrete position on Zionism. The so-called “progressives” of the Democratic party, from AOC to Bowman to Sanders, are complicit in this genocide: from endorsing Biden, to voting to send money to the Zionist entity, to smearing Palestinian organizations and conflating anti-Zionism with anti-semitism. Let us be clear: no amount of “lesser of two evils” rhetoric will bully the Palestine movement into supporting those complicit in the genocide of our people. We affirm that we have not only a right, but an obligation, to disrupt the activities of all electeds complicit in this genocide. We condemn attempts to scapegoat the Palestinian movement for the results of any upcoming elections, and reject attempts by self-proclaimed progressive organizations to paint Palestinian organizations as unstrategic for refusing to buy into the push to “vote blue no matter who” while US bombs continue to rain down on our people in Gaza. The lack of accountability we are being asked to accept is in fact a self-fulfilling prophecy whose promise is oppression and mass death. Our movement has the right to hold accountable those who deviate from these principles, especially when others will not.

On Monday the Supreme Court begins hearing Grants Pass v. Johnson and their decision could make the criminalization of homelessness the law of the land.

Washington Square Park has a homeless community that is already incredibly targeted and criminalized by the 6th precinct. A Grants Pass-like law here would be devastating to these folks.

The Jump out boys aka anti-crime unit aka critical response team, the most violent set of the biggest gang in the city the nypd.

NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell killed #OrtanzsoBovell in 2008, lied about it, & still got away with it. NYPD Deputy Commissioner Kaz Daughtry has a history of lying & brutality & has gotten away with all his violence. These two infamously violent men don't make anyone safer.

We’re so close! Only $227 left to hit $2000. Please give what you can.
