There is a problem with the stories we tell & the way we perceive how change happens. The Union of Pinnacle Tenants, the largest tenant-led union in NYC—are the reason Mamdani took action. Organized people power is pivotal. Top down stories of elected heroes (even ones we like) are not sufficient.

My mom is currently in the hospital. Please hold her in your thoughts or prayers tonight as we still don't know what's wrong.
In January, Zohran Mamdani took action against bankrupt landlord Pinnacle, which was responsible for over 5,000 housing violations.
Thanks to his intervention, Pinnacle's new owners have forgiven millions in tenants' back rent.
This is what governing for the people looks like.
Respectfully, @rweingarten.bsky.social, you're playing catch up. If you're serious about the harms of "A.i.," please immediately cancel your "A.i." partnership with OpenAI and Microsoft and endorse the @aimoratoriumnyc.bsky.social's call for a moratorium on "A.i." in all grades, K-12.
