if y'all remember, she was the only elected sitting next to cuomo & de blasio when they made the amazon announcement. @RidgewdTenantsU organized in our neighborhood against the deal & targeted her cuz we thought it was ridiculous she'd support such nonsense. we made this flyer:
RTU met w/ her on 2/20/19. our ask to her was PLEASE sign a pledge to declare support for universal rent control. to this meeting w/ her constituents she brought TWO COPS to protect her from her scary constituents. she never signed the pledge & instead this is what she did:
She spent the whole meeting chastising us. In her own words:
“I cannot believe the things that you have written and said about me.  I lived here my whole life, nobody has to love me I know people hate politicians but the things that you have said about me on Twitter.”
“I cannot believe the things that you have written and said about me.  I lived here my whole life, nobody has to love me I know people hate politicians but the things that you have said about me on Twitter.”
"The whole world calls me Cathy as you did but somehow in the last six weeks you have morphed into someone else, but the cutting of my head on the puppet figure it was frightening and terrifying to me."
"I have received 8 death threat letters recently in my career and honestly your little puppet head has had more effect on people calling my office with threats than almost anything that’s happened to me in 35 years.”
“I have a right to say that I felt personally threatened these last few weeks. I felt personally threatened...I also have a right to ask you not to threaten me physically. I have a right to say that you made me scared for my physical safety.”
she literally said THIS FLYER AND US were the cause of her getting death threats and that she felt physically threatened by us...by me...she said our endless tweeting about her last year made her overwhelmed. SHE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A PUBLIC TWITTER ACCOUNT 
SHE LITERALLY SAID WE & I THREATENED HER! when white people make up lies like that against POC guess what happens? she also said that our organizing was all about building distrust against politicans. well, we wouldn't be organizing if politicans were actually doing their jobs!
& this wasn't my first time w/ white people making up dangerous lies about me or our organizing. nolan said we physically threatened her. todd p of trans pecos in 2016 said i hacked into his trans pecos twitter account & called his home to harass him. NO ONE EVER HAS RECEIPTS
white people i plead w/ you, whether you're a politician that doesn't understand what organizing is or a gentrifier who owns an indie music venue PLEASE DO BETTER. your white tears gets POC in trouble. your lies get us killed. your gaslighting oozes thru your pores. DO BETTER!
and DO NOT VOTE FOR NOLAN. she has been in office for as long as i have been born. i am a 36 grown ass woman. thank you for coming to my ted talk!
also what made me lol about our meeting at the LIBRARY, a meeting for which she brought TWO COPS to, was that she literally thought we were like best friends? she thought we had a relationship? we had never invited her to our events. WE DON'T EVER INVITE POLITICIANS! pls retire.
