Saturday, August 9, slide through Elephant Alley for a huge UTA benefit show! DM Elephant Alley for the address, and thanks so much to all the acts donating their energy and time to make this happen. Also shouts out to @autwine for a sick poster!

Earlier this week, the Schenectady Council voted against holding a Public Hearing on adopting Good Cause Eviction protections. The version introduced is exactly what tenants need, which is why landlords are fighting it so intently! On July 28, we need to pack the house with tenants that are willing to share their story and demand Good Cause! They denied us a Public Hearing, so we'll take over the Public Comment section and make it a tenant speak out! Bring a neighbor, and let's win Good Cause together!

At the last Council meeting, representatives from the Danker Village Tenants Union and Ida Yarbrough Tenants Union teamed up to speak about how both tenant unions' issues persist despite much media attention. The Tenant Unions are demanding action by the City to ensure tenants' rights are respected and their conditions improve!

Great turnout at Friday's Livingston School Apartments Tenant Union meeting! Folks are frustrated by management underfunding maintenance, the lack of security, and persistent code violations. Some tenants have even had to put children's swimming pools in their living rooms to address leaks that have been on management's radar for months!

UTA's at BIPOC pride distributing literature, collecting petition signatures, and talking tenants rights! Swing on by if you're around 🧡

Today we rallied outside of City Hall during eviction court to demand full funding for HUD, more protections for renters and homeless tenants, and for NYS to pass the REST ACT! This was part of a national day of protest coordinated by @ourcityrttc ! Local communities need more power to address the housing crisis, especially as the federal government proposes cuts that will only accelerate this present crisis! #HomesForAll 🏡🏠🏡

Shout out to Councilmember Balarin, Assemblymember Romero, Danker Village Tenants Union, Ida Yarbrough Tenants Union, and the Albany Chapter of the National Union of the Homeless for speaking today!

Tomorrow the Albany All Stars Roller Derby will partner with UTA to highlight the impact of UTA's work and services. This Charity Spotlight will commit 50% of the proceeds of sales generated from their "star toss" raffles to be donated to UTA.

UTA will also have a table and will be distributing tenants' rights info, collecting petition signatures, and enjoying the game! Come to the Armory and support the Albany All Stars tomorrow night!

Next TUESDAY, May 20, at 10AM, Albany tenants will be participating in a national wave of protests to defend HUD programs from dangerous cuts that will only increase the housing issues across the country and in our region.

Stand with us to defend these vital programs and to demand more!

Members of the Ida Yarbrough Tenants Union held an emergency rally this morning to bring attention to union busting and unmet commitments. Yesterday, tenants found that the community room - where the tenant union meets - is suddenly closed "for improvements" and that their beloved Community Room Coordinator has been terminated. Call the Housing Authority and ask them why the tenants are being denied access to community spaces and when they can expect to receive a key!
