Solidarity with our friends & neighbors in #EvictionFreeBX CASA-New Settlement who came out to support— #DefendRTC (S3254 / A4993) legislation would give New York tenants the time needed to get the #RightToCounsel they’re entitled to - “you’ll most likely find a lawyer by then” isn’t good enough!
16,000 evictions in The Bronx alone! THAT AIN’T RIGHT. Tenants are fighting for their lives, to be able to stay in their homes. HOUSING IS A HUMAN RIGHTS! #DefendRTC #RightToCounsel
Must-pass #DefendRTC (S3254 / A4993) legislation would require that the courts give tenants the critical time they need to get the #RightToCounsel they’re entitled to—big thx to the Kristen Gonzalez office for joining us today!
