If you can’t donate, reblog. Spread the word because this story isn’t the only one like this and it is disproportionately happening to POC.
Landlords have bills to pay as well, but they should be standing shoulder to shoulder with their tenets against the larger power. The banks are the problem and the government is backing them up instead of having the backs of the citizens that vote them into power.
Hey folks.
If you are in a situation like this, you have got to call your city. You have got to call Legal Aid. If you live in NYC, you have got to call 311/HPD.
You as a tenant have rights. You may have legal recourse even if you don’t think you do or owe back rent. Some cities have emergency housing/rental assistance funds. Your city has an interest in preventing you from becoming homeless. Your landlord is legally obligated to maintain certain living conditions. And I only really know NYC well in this regard…and I know it well in this regard…but the city will help enforce those requirements. You have to be diligent, you have to keep on top of it, but they will.
I know calling on city bureaucracy can feel onerous or useless, but like.
Please don’t let things get critical before you let someone with the power to help know what’s going on.
just can’t vibe with the kind of feminism that implies or states outright that the reason men mistreat women is because of some insurmountable biological difference rather than social phenomena. you’re not explaining or saying anything interesting about misogyny you’re just naturalizing it
this site definitely doesn’t allow you to paste the link to any article blocked by a paywall (say, a NYT article) so that you can read it free of charge! that would be illegal and would benefit broke college students too much. it definitely does not do that. promise.
