Why We Need #RTCNYC

On Tuesday, September 26th, 2016, NYC tenants packed City Hall to urge City Council and the Mayor to pass Right to Counsel.  We interviewed them.  Here's what they said about why they were there to say NYC needs RTC in 2016.

 

 

 

The Right to Counsel NYC Coalition is a tenant led broad based coalition that formed in 2014 to disrupt Housing Court as a center of displacement and stop the eviction crisis that has threatened our families, our neighborhoods and our homes for too long. Our Coalition is made up of tenants, organizers, advocates, legal services organizations and more! Our work is rooted in principles of equity, dignity, humanity, diversity and justice. After a hard fought, 3 year grassroots campaign, we won and became the first city in the nation to establish a Right to Counsel for tenants facing eviction. Our campaign has inspired a movement across the country.
