Fight For NYCHA Action-Planning Meeting
10 May 2019 (New York) — Fight For NYCHA is co-hosting an action-planning meeting to design actions to find the $32 billion needed by the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA). Fulton Houses tenants, civil rights attorney Norman Siegel, and Fight For NYCHA members will be participating in the action-planning meeting.
DATE : Saturday, 11 May 2019
TIME : 1 pm
PLACE : Fulton Houses, 419 W 17th St., Manhattan
RSVP : Fulton Houses : Action Planning Meeting [Facebook]
Also on the proposed agenda is the task of electing an independent tenants' association. In the weeks since it was publicly revealed that Mayor Bill de Blasio (D-New York City) will be demolishing buildings at the Fulton Houses in Chelsea and erecting in their place 70/30 market-rate rental apartment buildings, some Fulton residents have lost confidence in Tenant President Miguel Acevedo.

Fight For NYCHA is a collective of tenants, activists, artists, and advocates, who are protesting Mayor Bill de Blasio's plan to put 1/3 of NYCHA into the hands of private landlords. We reject Mayor de Blasio's proposal because the money exists to save NYCHA. We just have to change our priorities.
