Our congregations began organizing in Queens in 2004 and expanded citywide in 2013 in response to Hurricane Sandy’s devastation. We develop and support grassroots teams of congregants and clergy to move significant public policy change that supports a more just New York – focusing on affordable housing for all, excellent public schools, neighborhoods free from violence by police and residents, access to good jobs, the right to vote for all New Yorkers, and the opportunity to fully participate in economic and civic life. We organize particularly with congregations in low-income immigrant communities and communities of color. We work both on local campaigns and community-building, citywide policy-making and legislation, citywide electoral and voter education work, and in coalition with faith-based and secular allies. About the Role The Queens Tenant Organizer will identify and build relationships with tenants in Queens, particularly in rent-stabilized buildings, to identify common problems, develop tenant associations, litigate against bad landlords, and run campaigns leveraging people power, media, public opinion, and the support of elected officials to ensure safe and affordable housing for Queens tenants.

  • Strategic Policy Statement 2014 Melinda Katz
    THE OFFICE OF THE QUEENS BOROUGH PRESIDENT Strategic Policy Statement 2014 Melinda Katz Queens Borough President The Borough of Queens is home to more than 2.3 million residents, representing more than 120 countries and speaking more than 135 languages1. The seamless knit that ties these distinct cultures and transforms them into shared communities is what defines the character of Queens. The Borough’s diverse population continues to steadily grow. Foreign-born residents now represent 48% of the Borough’s population2. Traditional immigrant gateways like Sunnyside, Woodside, Jackson Heights, Elmhurst, Corona, and Flushing are now communities with the highest foreign-born population in the entire city3. Immigrant and Intercultural Services The immigrant population remains largely underserved. This is primarily due to linguistic and cultural barriers. Residents with limited English proficiency now represent 28% of the Borough4, indicating a need for a wide range of social service support and language access to City services. All services should be available in multiple languages, and outreach should be improved so that culturally sensitive programming can be made available. The Borough President is actively working with the Queens General Assembly, a working group organized by the Office of the Queens Borough President, to address many of these issues. Cultural Queens is amidst a cultural transformation. The Borough is home to some of the most iconic buildings and structures in the world, including the globally recognized Unisphere and New York State Pavilion. Areas like Astoria and Long Island City are establishing themselves as major cultural hubs. In early 2014, the New York City Council designated the area surrounding Kaufman Astoria Studios as the city’s first arts district through a City Council Proclamation The areas unique mix of adaptively reused residential, commercial, and manufacturing buildings serve as a catalyst for growth in culture and the arts.
