Thanks @carolinetanbee for standing up against companies like @AirBNB. New Haven cannot lose its housing stock to short-term rentals.

Caroline Tanbee Smith@carolinetanbee

Following the work of @TenantsNotTourists closely. I strongly support thoughtful conversations about regulating short-term rentals to protect housing for residents and promote growth of affordable homes. Housing policy should put people first 🏡

Thanks @Eli_Sabin for recognizing that we need housing units for residents not tourists.

We recently passed the Downtown for All proposal to expand our city’s housing stock and make New Haven more affordable. But we can’t afford to lose much-needed homes to @Airbnb. Thank you @TenantsFirstNYC for sharing your work and example from NYC!

Thanks @ELLECUPO for always prioritizing our residents and housing.

As New Haven pizza gains world renown, my ward cannot afford to lose its housing stock to @airbnb. Thanks to @TenantsFirstNYC for their advocacy and work in addressing the affordable housing crisis.

“SB 8 is the best thing we can do to encourage the employers to play fair. I say to you, Gov. Lamont: We are facing a crisis. Are you taking it seriously, sir?” Governor Lamont: PASS SB 8!

"The machinists’ strike at RTX makes clear that we all have a stake in these fights. We may not be out on the picket line... But our interests are being decided on that picket line. Our community’s future is on that line. SB8 recognizes that simple truth." courant.com/2025/06/02/opi…

What side are you on? When corporations refuse to negotiate, workers fight back. But bosses starve us out, threatening eviction and hunger to force us into bad deals. SB 8 gives striking workers a fighting chance. Stand with workers!

SB 8: We Can't Wait! We had more people than ever to join our New Haven delegation to deliver 1,300 letters to the Governor to call on him to support SB 8.

"The striking workers bill makes the choice clear for Governor Lamont: he can stand up for working people and expand the middle class or he can go along with the billionaire attacks on the rest of us." – Carla Valatti, Omni New Haven Hotel at Yale nhregister.com/opinion/articl…

UNITE HERE is on the move! Wednesday at the Capitol—we're pressing legislators and Governor Lamont to pass SB 8 and protect the working class in Connecticut. We'll be back next week—stronger every day!

We're letting Hartford know that when we strike, we do it for all workers. SB 8 / HB 6904 makes sure we have security while standing up for fair wages and dignity.
