Green New Deal for Public Housing: Why Do We Need It?

In April, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Senator Bernie Sanders reintroduced the Green New Deal for Public Housing Act at the federal level. In this episode, we are talking about the history of New York City public housing (NYCHA), where it is today, and why we must enact a Green New Deal for Public Housing in New York City. We speak with current tenants Jasmin Sanchez, Romaine Singleton, La Keesha Taylor, and Cesar Yoc to hear about their experiences living in NYCHA housing, and why the time for change is now.

Check out gnd4ph.com to learn more about this tenant-led, activist-supported movement. Call your representatives to tell them that we cannot wait any longer for a Green New Deal for Public Housing. Tune in to our next episode in which we talk more about GND4PH, and how we can actually make it happen, together.
