Watch & share our fight to #SaveJingFong Tan Li Zhen, a worker and 318 member says, “I’ve worked at Jing Fong since 1997, that’s 24 years...It’s so hard to find a job now. At my age, who will hire me? How will I feed myself? Don’t I have to eat?”

Unionized workers in NYC’s Chinatown are taking on a wealthy landlord to protect a beloved landmark restaurant and save their jobs. #SaveJingFong

@THECITYNY This is filled with inaccuracies. Jess Coleman was a distant third to Marte, but this says he’s the “closest challenger”? Why spread this misinformation. Also wtf is the description of Japneet as just “an immigrant” when he went to elementary school in the district

In a closely-watched race, Brooklyn Councilmember Shahana Hanif has held on to her seat with a commanding lead in the preliminary first-round vote tally. But many other close city council races will likely head to the full ranked vote count. buff.ly/rDIDQcz

*anti-real estate! Marte doesn’t fall into the YIMBY/NIMBY binary. The working class coalition that got him into office will hold it down for him this time too. It’s not about “saving” his seat, it’s about real estate trying to take back theirs! Vote Marte!
Erin Durkin@erinmdurkin

Anti-development City Councilmember Chris Marte is facing a primary challenger with diametrically opposed views—and as he tries to save his seat, Marte has falsely claimed a series of endorsements he didn’t actually earn: hellgatenyc.com/marte-coleman-…

EMERGENCY RALLY TO PROTECT CHINATOWN! 🚨 TODAY (5/15) 11:30 AM, 46 Bowery 🚨 Mega-landlord Jonathan Chu made a deal with ultra-luxury Swiss furniture brand @Vitra to take over Jing Fong's banquet hall. Chinatown is launching a boycott of Vitra who profit from our displacement!

Protestors did NOTHING WRONG! Those arrested were a homecare worker and people who were protecting other elderly homecare workers from getting arrested
Youth Against Displacement@YADArmy1

THIS is how @cpc_nyc celebrated its 60th anniversary Thurs: ARRESTING elderly home attendants & supporters 4 peacefully protesting. CPC’s 24-hour workdays rob workers of their health & time w/their family, while pocketing > $90 MILLION in stolen wages. CPC are the TRUE CRIMINALS!

CPC masquerades as a progressive organization, and is enabled by politicians who refuse to hold them accountable to the law. The elected officials who crossed the picket line are supporting these inhumane working conditions that are killing workers!

One popular spot told us they had to throw out food due to so few customers, restaurant workers were sent home early because there was nobody coming in, delivery costs are increasing for people already operating on low margins. Shame on ppl celebrating the death of Chinatown 🤬

It’s painful to see how many accounts are celebrating congestion pricing. Don’t be fooled - people aren’t taking the subway instead. They are just choosing to not come to Chinatown. Who pays the price of empty streets? We’ve started surveying small businesses and it’s been 💔

Thank you @RagaForQueens for listening to the community and withdrawing from @cpc_nyc’s racist and anti-Asian event at @mocanyc!! We must combat anti-Asian hate at its root: racist luxury development, mega-jail, & 24-hour workdays that are killing Asian communities!
