Nearly 300 people turned out for our recent Town Hall + Q & A on Mayor Adams’ deceptive and damaging proposed Charter Revision changes, which will appear on your upcoming ballot (early voting starts October 25, Election Day is November 4).

These proposed changes to the NYC constitution would damage affordability, democracy, and healthy neighborhoods. Portrayed as a way to “streamline” necessary and desirable projects, they would actually allow a huge range of developments, including massive super-luxury housing, corporate office towers, hotels, upscale shopping, and more — all in residential neighborhoods. It would remove not only oversight but also opportunities to demand health and infrastructure investments that support the new development, deeper and broader affordability, and right-sizing of proposed developments, as well as the chance to reject bad ones. A multimillion-dollar campaign is being waged to pass the measures, which would be almost impossible to reverse once approved.
