Tenant organizing in the five boroughs of New York has a complex history. What works in one neighborhood may not work in another. The context, history, and relationships of neighborhood matter greatly to organizers and movement participants. Now, the Mamdani administration is poised to change the movement.

To learn about these movements, join holden taylor, a tenant unionist, an adjunct professor at Baruch College, a Ph.D. candidate at the CUNY Graduate Center, an organizer with the Marxist Unity Group, and a member of the coordinating committee for the Citywide Tenant Assembly.

Join tomorrow to examine what has worked and what lessons learned can be applied: https://buff.ly/M88qdh9

New York City is home to nearly nine million people—but humans are only some of the New Yorkers whose lives are shaped by the city’s buildings, parks, waterways, transportation systems, policies, and changing environment. What if we view NYC as a multispecies city?

Drawing on animal welfare science, history, environmental studies, and human-animal relations, our upcoming webinar will ask what animals can reveal about the city we have built—and what it might mean to imagine more desirable urban futures in which human and nonhuman flourishing are considered together.
