we can talk about specifics of the individual fights but the provisional answer that I think we need to account for is the tenants movement is a social force in NYC and elsewhere in a way it simply wasn't a decade ago and this should really impact our collective theory of changehttps://twitter.com/unit01barbie/status/1428024824618758150 …

Much of the fight is driven by rent stabilized tenants who have the protections to make organizing fruitful and powerful and don’t have as much to lose from retaliation. We need good cause — aka a tenants’ rights to organize. Would expand the base by 50%.

Organizers - short on resources - will always prioritize a big building to organize over a small one. Right to counsel attorneys will and can fight harder in a case where the tenant is rent stabilized.

We need to urgently urgently expand tenant protections to the 1M NY households who are not rent stabilized or otherwise protected to grow this movement

And to do that, organizers (us!!!) need to intensely focus on building a powerful base of unregulated renters - who are more likely to live in substandard, unstable, and unsafe housing
