Community coalitions
Community coalitions
Communities Resist represents or actively participates in over a dozen community-led coalitions that serve many neighborhoods in Brooklyn and Queens, in a concerted effort to prevent large-scale displacement of vulnerable tenants. These coalitions address neighborhood rezonings in low-income communities, land use actions, advocacy around impact legislation and City Charter reform. One such long-standing coalition is Mobilization Against Displacement, which aims to ensure that neighborhoods like North Brooklyn remain the diverse and vibrant communities that are called home by many poor and working-class families. Additionally, our staff actively works with several local Community Boards and their subcommittees on issues related to housing and neighborhood rezonings. CoRe actively participates in the following coalitions:
- Basement Apartments Safe for Everyone (BASE)
- End Warehousing
- Stand for Tenant Safety (STS)
- Coalition against Tenant Harassment (CATH)
- Housing Justice for All
- Right to Counsel
- Housing Court Must Change
- Rent Strike Legal Support
