UPDATE ON MY ARREST
Transcript
Got arrested yes. Let's talk about it. I have a concussion as a result of the NYPD shoving me to the pavement, but I believe I will be okay. What is not okay is what led to yesterday's events. I showed up because I could no, in good faith, allow the displacement of a black family in my district. Best Marshall tried to execute an eviction warrant for my constituent whose legal measures have not all been exhausted. The legal specifics of her case are for the courts, and she deserves her due process. But someone should not be evicted without us having all the answers. And the pattern that this case sits inside is real. Speculators targeting heirs in black neighborhoods using legitimate looking paperwork to extract generational wealth from families who have lived in these homes for decades. Sometimes the perpetrators use illegal methods. Sometimes tier methods are technically legal. In all cases, the practice is cruel and rank, and everything that is legal isn't right or just. Look at the history of segregation or Jim Crow. Some are also using a more narrow definition of deed theft. My position yesterday wasn't to adjudicate. Rather, it was to make sure the people in the middle of this have a voice and that the system moves toward protecting them. And yesterday, I did that job. The NYPD's actions is its own story, and I will be filing a complaint. What you saw yesterday, that passion from our community, is what this crisis looks like when it reaches a breaking point. Deed theft is complex, and it's why we need immediate protections like an eviction moratorium and deed theft cases to protect homeowners in this race against time. It's also why we need investments for specialized units within district attorney's offices to prosecute these crimes. We need governor Kathy Hochul to work with us on this issue to begin a dialogue about how we can use the unique power only she has to stop deed theft once and for all. I have seen enough black displacement in my life, and I refuse to abdicate my responsibility to ensure black families can remain in their homes. My powers as a city council member are limited. Let's end deed theft.
