REMINDER‼️ Kingston tenants: show up this Saturday to ask the Rent Guidelines Board to keep rents frozen so folks can actually get the full 15% reduction they are owed. And stay tuned to learn how to force your landlord to follow the new law! Questions? Email housing@mhvdsa.org

This spring, we’re raising $6,000 to send a dozen of our comrades to DSA National Convention in Chicago. It’s important that cost isn’t a barrier to participation. Help us get them there! Visit: bit.ly/mhvdsa-delegates-2025
I just gave to Mid-Hudson Valley DSA!

TONIGHT, the Kingston Common Council is voting on resolutions to call on Albany to pass both PASHNY and REST so that Kingston can continue its battle against rent burden and housing insecurity. JOIN US on the front steps of Kingston City Hall (420 Broadway) at 7:15pm!
A group of fourteen people stand on the steps of a brick building holding various protest signs about housing. The individuals are diverse in terms of age and attire, smiling and appearing enthusiastic. The top row holds signs with messages like “TOGETHER! WE CAN SOLVE THE HOUSING CRISIS” and “BUILD GREEN SOCIAL HOUSING NOW!”. Middle row signs include “WE CAN SOLVE THE HOUSING” and “HOMES FOR LIVING NOT FOR PROFIT!”. Individuals in the front hold horizontally oriented signs stating “Cover as many tenants as possible!” and one listing various professions followed by "ALL OF US DESERVE BEAUTIFUL HOMES". The background features a red brick facade and a large dark door.

PASHNY is how we House The Future — building tens of thousands of units of permanently affordable green social housing all across the state. REST is how we make it feasible for upstate municipalities to enact rent stabilization and protect tenants.
The image shows a presentation in a conference room. A woman stands at a podium on the right side, speaking into a microphone. She is smiling and appears to be engaging with the audience. A large screen to her left displays a purple slide with bold, bright green text covering most of its surface. The audience is seated in front of the screen, with the backs of their heads visible in the foreground. The room has a simple setup with blue chairs and a plain wall behind the screen. An American flag is partially visible on the right side of the image beside the presenter.
