Post #1: Twitter was suppressing our tweets. (11.1.20)
*Now other avenues aren’t being great, either.
#UniteOurStruggles apparently is “harmful” content, per below screenshot from twitter.
So now we have a medium.
*But this isn’t working out, either. So please, keep sharing and spread the message of the work. This is also a free speech issue.

#NoEvictionCops #N2 Event
New York’s eviction ban expired on October 1, and as of October 12, evictions have officially resumed statewide. Tens of thousands of tenants are left unprotected from the threat of violent evictions during the pandemic. Citizen Action of New York will join tenants and housing justice advocates for Eviction Resistance Rallies outside of Marshals Offices on Monday, November 2 at 10:30 a.m. as part of a statewide day of action.
The actions will be targeting the very agencies that are executing evictions in the middle of a pandemic.The Marshals are the way the state criminalizes housing insecurity, and we must stand against this. With 1.5 million New Yorkers unable to make rent and approximately $2 billion owed in back rent, activists and community leaders are demanding the legislature pass a true eviction moratorium. As we brace for a third wave of COVID-19, flu season and the start of winter, we must defend New Yorkers who are on the verge of homelessness.
We demand no evictions Statewide for at least one year, the cancellation of rent, and immediate action to house the homeless.
