Cea Weaver on rent-stabilized tenants as a voter block: "So like you said, there are about 2.4 million people who live in rent-stabilized apartments in New York City. And, you know, tenants really could be a difference maker in this mayoral election... Rent-stabilized tenants are a multiracial, multi-generational block of voters. They are not, we're not just talking about, you know, progressive young people. We're not just talking about people who are already politicized. We're talking about a potentially enormous working class voter block who are with us, because right now they're being forced to choose between childcare or groceries or healthcare, staying in New York at all. Right? Um, so the importance of a rent freeze is not just about the rent, it's also about bringing working class people back, um, into it's civic, civic engagement."

City Hall can help landlords deal with the rising cost of insurance, utilities and a broken property tax system. But we will not pad their profits by crushing tenants in rent-stabilized homes. We will freeze the rent.
