NCCRC / RTCNYC webinar: organizing around right to counsel part 4 (NYC)

This conversation will feature the Right to Counsel NYC Coalition (RTCNYC) which led to New York City becoming the first city in the nation to pass Right to Counsel! RTCNYC was founded by CASA (Community Action for Safe Apartments) in 2014. RTCNYC is a tenant-led, broad-based coalition that formed in 2014 to disrupt Housing Court as a center of displacement and stop the eviction crisis that has threatened our homes for too long. The Coalition is made up of tenants, organizers, advocates, legal services organizations and more! Join us to learn more about how the right to counsel campaign got started, wins and losses along the way, thoughts and ideas about implementation, and where organizers plan to go from here. To learn more about the right and current campaign work to expand RTC statewide, visit the Right to Counsel Coalition of NYC’s website at www.righttocounselnyc.org.
