Shouts out to the Hippie Hotel Tenant Union bargai

Shouts out to the Hippie Hotel Tenant Union bargaining team! Yesterday they held their first negotiations with Cole Group Realty, securing 9 commitments of their 12-point demand letter, with a two-week timeline on responses to the additional 3 demands. The bargaining team held it down, and stood fierce in front of the landlord and their lawyer. Let's get it!

We're a week away from UTA's 53rd anniversary!!

We're a week away from UTA's 53rd anniversary!!

We'll be awarding our friends at Family Promise of the Capital Region, an organization that engages the community in support of families facing homelessness, providing temporary shelter, wraparound services, and the guidance they need to build a brighter future.

Their Interfaith Hospitality Network of faith communities is comprised of ten host sites, 15 support congregations and hundreds of volunteers that work together to provide shelter, home-cooked meals, and companionship for families in need of housing.

FPCR also has Homeless Prevention and Stabilization programs that help families avoid homelessness, often collaborating with other nonprofits such as UTA, to cover rental arrears for families facing eviction. They help families with utilities, transportation expenses such as bus cards, food, household products, emergency dental-care, urgent care and other unmet needs.

We' can't wait to uplift such an integral partner!!

Thank you @gabriellain109, @countyexecdanmccoy and

UTA is celebrating Assembly Member Phil Steck at our annual event this year! RSVP in bio :)

AM Steck represents Assembly District 110, encompassing parts of Albany and Schenectady County. A long-time progressive, AM Steck previously served in the Albany County Legislature, served as the Town of Colonie Democratic Chair, and served as a delegate for Bernie Sanders in 2016 & 2020 at the National Democratic Conventions.

Throughout the 2026 legislative session, AM Steck fought for tenants rights like few others. Steck fought against the 'overproduction of luxury housing', the scarcity of affordable housing, the astronomical increases in rents and housing prices, and developer handouts at the expense of the environment. He called for the production of public and social housing, his stock transfer tax legislation which would promote the development of quality affordable housing in upstate NY, and the Rent Emergency Stabilization for Tenants Act.

We are so excited to share space with him on September 29th 🙂

Yesterday, tenants at The Knick launched the first chapter of the Stratus Tenant Union! Tenants organized in response to pest infestations, high rents and poor conditions, inadequate maintenance and management, poor bookkeeping, and union busting by Stratus Property Management (FKA Redburn Property Management). STU has more unions coming, so keep an eye out! Photo credit to @jaquellchandlerphoto

Today the Hippie Hotel Tenant Union launched, representing more than 70% of the residents at the Willett! Tenants spoke about roach infestations, bats in their apartment, unresponsive and inadequate management, and general safety and security needs - that ain't right! Today, HHTU sent their demand letter to Cole Realty Group to sit down with the tenant union and negotiate in good faith. Shout out to @amromero109 for coming and standing with the tenants! And thanks @fotosbytrey for the amazing pics ❤️

Last night the Thurlow Terrace Tenant Union called on the Common Council to hold their slumlord accountable and pass a resolution in support of the Rent Emergency Stabilization for Tenants Act! The Council was very receptive, promising action and passing the resolution for rent stabilization 14-0. Shout out to Drake Manor / Idlewild Terrace Tenant Union for coming and standing in solidarity with TTTU! Let's get the REST Act passed and hold these bad landlords to account! @mayordorceyapplyrs @patfahy46 @amromero109 @andreastewartcousins @cheastie

We were at the Capital Tuesday with the Right to Counsel Coalition fighting for Clean Hands Eviction, the Winter Eviction Moratorium, and of course Right to Counsel! All of these bills would work together to drastically reduce the number of evictions we see every year in NYS 😡🏠❤️
