In December we passed COPA thanks to a broad coalition of supporters.
Big real estate $ funded misinformation campaigns and muddied the waters on what COPA is and what it isn’t.
Now is the time to set the record straight 🧵

Today the @council.nyc.gov passed COPA to add another preservation tool to our toolbox!
By giving qualified purchasers a first chance to bid on distressed properties in city enforcement programs, COPA will help level the playing field & stop the cycle of speculation & rising rents.
