In contrast, our

collective debt is

subsidizing NYU--NOT

the other way around.

Their ability to take

on further debt through

bonds is based in part

on "the university's

highly valuable and

marketable real estate"

HOUSING ISA

HUMAN RIGHT

Faculty housing at NYU is

inseparable from the

historic cycles of

displacement. We live on

the occupied lands of

Lenni Lenape peoples.

While it may be owned by

NYU it does not belong to

them or to us. In recent

decades, low-income

residents have been

displaced from the East

Village, Lower East Side,

and Greenwich Village.

New residential

developments in Lower

Manhattan further

enclose and exclude by

increasing land and rent

values. In Manhattan,

neighborhoods with new

and expensive

residential units

approved are right

around the corner from

us: Midtown,

Clinton/Chelsea, and the

Lower East

Side/Chinatown.

A rent strike gives us a

chance to build

solidarity with

neighbors currently

facing displacement and

with our many

unsheltered neighbors.

Let's fight now to turn

vacant property into

housing, expand rental

assistance programs and

invest in permanent,

high-quality social

housing for everyone.
