The Next New York: The rent is too damn high!

New York City’s housing challenges are among the most complex in the nation. This panel will unpack Zohran Mamdani’s ambitious housing platform, from freezing rent and building deeply affordable homes to cracking down on predatory landlords and ending deed theft. Experts in housing policy, tenant organizing, and real estate development will assess what it would take to turn these ideas into reality, and what structural changes are needed to make housing in New York truly stable and fair.

Amplify the Dream: Resist Authoritarianism

On January 19, 2026 at Judson Memorial Church in Manhattan, please join the Social Justice Committee of the Metro Association | New York Conference of the United Church of Christ to honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.  We honor Dr. King by hearing his voice and those of Ella Baker, Fannie Lou Hamer, and others in the Black Freedom Movement, along with advocates for immigrant justice. We'll also learn more about how people of faith are mobilizing their communities to resist authoritarian repression in our own time. 

Our program begins with a gathering at 9 AM for coffee and snacks, and will run until 1 PM. While an RSVP is not required, it would help us plan better if you let us know you're coming.
