596 Acres testified in front of City Council along with organizers and fellow advocates.

Join us at City Hall to demand changes in the New York City tax lien sale! We will be asking for two key changes to be made to the bill:

  1. adding effective protections for Not for Profit & Faith-Based Organizations
  2. an end to the City giving away its leverage over neglected and abandoned properties in our neighborhoods by selling unpaid tax debt to a private speculative trust

 

Here is some background:
