Lisa Ramaci of the Lower East Side put together a great organizing meeting on January 17, 2017 for HDFCs in the East Village, Lower East Side & Chinatown. Also invited were HDFC folks from around NYC who were interested in organizing their neighborhoods. The HDFC Coalition was present as well. We reviewed what HPD’s proposal is all about for those who were new to this, then updated the group about the recent efforts to stop HPD’s plan, and then we discussed how we can organize our fellow shareholders to put even more pressure on our elected officials.
Local City Council Member Rosie Mendez also attended. Thank you, Rosie, for caring about HDFC shareholders!
