Unfairly Evicted Tenants Fight Back

Press Conference and Rally Featuring Hundreds of Supporters and Tenants

Scheduled to Protest Surprise Eviction at 1717 Troutman

On Friday, October 26th, hundreds of tenants of 1717 Troutman will join with supporters, friends, family, and community and housing advocates to show their unity in the face of their surprising eviction. Left homeless after vacate notices, tenants will join together to express their outrage at the situation and attempt to convey to City officials and the landlord the urgent need to find a permanent solution to the tenants problems. Leaders of the tenants will discuss the situation of the homeless residents, their lack of options on where they have to stay in the interim and long term, as well as the urgent need of working professionals for a place to live and work.

What: Press Conference and Rally to Find Permanent Solutions for 1717 Troutman Residents and Prevent Adding the Tenants to the Homeless Population of NYC.

Who: Brian Faucette, Claribel Jolie Pichardo, Mat Swajkos, Sean Raspet, and other Tenant Leaders, will be joined by hundreds of supports and tenants as well as invited community leaders, housing advocates, and elected officials.

When: Friday, October 26th, at 10 A.M.
