4/10 Rally at City Hall: HCC Tenant Leader Gives Speech in Support of Community Land Act




On April 10th, over 50 New York City-based community groups gathered on the steps of City Hall for a rally in support of the Community Land Act. Alongside elected officials, activists, community land trust representatives, and fellow tenants, HCC tenant leader Nicholas Latimer gave a speech sharing his story of organizing tenants in his building with HCC against predatory landlord Daniel Ohebshalom.


"Five years ago, someone from HCC – bless them — posted a note in the lobby of our building asking if we wanted to meet with tenants from other buildings owned by Daniel Ohebshalom."

He capped off his speech with a call for City Councilmembers to pass the Community Land Act and protect the homes of New Yorkers across our city.
