JustFix

A big THANK YOU to all who joined us last night to raise the bar for housing justice! We are particularly honored to recognize the contributions of Hon. Carolyn Maloney, Raquel Namuche, and Heather Weston as champions of housing justice.

Support us in our mission to build technology that empowers tenants https://donorbox.org/donate-to-justfix-nyc

Have you heard the buzz around JustFix? JustFix has awesome tools to help you take control of your home! Our users have accessed our suite of tools to build tenants' unions, get repairs done, and uncover truths about their landlords. Here's what Patricia of Brooklyn Community Organize said about Who Owns What:

"Who Owns What is kind of like a super power or a super tool to ensure that you as the organizer are doing your due diligence. And that tenants have the resources and accessibility to access all of these links as well. Because the more you know, the more power you have."

Our hearts go out to Jordan Neely, an unhoused Black man asking for change on the subway who was brutally murdered by a racist, ex-marine vigilante. Jordan continues to be dehumanized, even in death, with the media perpetuating anti-Black rhetoric to seemingly justify his ex*****on.

People experiencing homelessness, like Jordan, are often seen as threats because of the systemic criminalization and routine demonization of the unhoused. JustFix firmly believes that housing is a human right and that no person should go hungry or unsheltered, especially in one of the wealthiest cities in the world.

Policies like Mayor Adam’s street sweeps of homeless encampments and Governor Hochul’s lack of robust housing policies that protect the most disenfranchised and vulnerable in New York’s state budget have compounded the devastating impact of a sustained, entrenched housing crisis. Instead of redressing and eradicating the root cause of institutional violence and systemic oppression, our leaders simply want to place poverty out of view.

Displacement, evictions, gentrification, and the criminalization of the unhoused are intrinsically linked to Jordan’s public lynching, and we must mobilize to combat further loss.
