🗣️ 'Eric Adams called me a plantation owner for defending tenants' - Tenant organizers Jeanie Dubnau and Michael Hollingsworth have their say after the New York City Mayor took issue with Jeanie's rent increases confrontation in a viral video.
I was appalled as I watched the video of Mayor Adams dressing down my colleague Jeanie, a long-time and well-respected tenant activist, because she dared to ask him why his hand-picked Rent Guidelines Board had raised rents for the second year in a row on more than two million New Yorkers.
It's one of the reasons I joined NYC's housing movement eight years ago as a member of the Crown Heights Tenant Union. Our coalition is the Rent Justice Coalition. We are a diverse coalition of tenants, advocacy groups, and organizers who have come together from all across the city, old, and young alike, Christians, Jews, Muslims, and non-denominational, Black, white, Hispanic, and Asian.Mayor Adams is no exception, shortly after his board raised rents on NY's rent-stabilized tenants in 2022 Adams, a landlord himself, raised $156,000 from people working in the real estate industry for his reelection bid.
