Five years ago two NYPD officers illegally broke into Kawaski Trawick’s apartment, tased him, and shot him. He died within 112 seconds.
We just got arrested for demanding a real housing package that protects immigrant and working class New Yorkers. We are nine days into the new fiscal year and there is no new budget in sight. Working class New Yorkers are hurting under the staggering burden of rents that keep going up and cuts to the services that we rely on.
Alongside two hundred tenants from across New York, we shut down The Real Estate Board of New York’s (REBNY) headquarters to demand they stop blocking much-needed tenant protections in the final state budget negotiations.
Demonstrators protested Tuesday evening, days after the NYPD announced they would not discipline the police officers involved in the death of Kawaski Trawick. “Mayor [Eric] Adams should be ashamed of himself as a father and as a Black man for not firing the police who murdered my son,” said organizer Keith Fuller as he read a statement from the Trawick family.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott was in New York City for a Republican gala on Thursday, facing criticism over the busing of migrants to sanctuary cities. The latest numbers released by Texas officials in March show the state has now transported more than 105,000 migrants since 2022, and the topic was front-and-center at Thursday’s event.
Un grupo de activistas pro inmigrantes expresaron su rechazo a la visita del gobernador de Texas, Greg Abbott, a nuestra ciudad. “Los inmigrantes aquí en Nueva York estamos unidos y le estamos diciendo ‘no más’ al odio antiinmigrante que él quiere repartir, que hemos visto sus acciones son anti inmigrantes y le estamos diciendo ‘no’, ‘tu y tu odio no son bienvenidos aquí al estado de Nueva York'” dijo Yatziri Tobar, de Make the Road NY.
