The deep-pocketed proponents of Mayor Adams’ charter revision ballot questions are spending millions to convince city voters to approve their deceptive power grab, which would harm affordability, democracy, and healthy neighborhoods. Disguised as “affordable housing” measures, these changes would grease the skids for developers; hand unilateral decision-making over to the Mayor; remove procedures for protecting neighborhoods; and limit opportunities for affordability, tenant protections, and anti-displacement measures. These measures would enable many oversized projects that would contain no affordable housing whatsoever, and some wouldn’t even contain housing. Even their definition of “affordable” is out of reach of the vast majority of New Yorkers. 

Cutting through the deception surrounding these measures is no small task. We’ve created assets like those above, and created a webpage and FAQ, all of which you can share. We’re also holding a Town Hall webinar on Wednesday, October 15 cosponsored by local and citywide civic organizations to educate the public about these measures — and you can help spread the word.
