Tenants and Neighbors is an organization that fights for tenant's rights and affordable housing, concentrating on New York State. They would like Equity members to join with them in urging New York legislators to strengthen and expand existing rent laws.

The group is organizing a "Tenants Day of Action" on Tuesday, May 13 in Albany. For more details and to register, go to http://www.tandn.org/showdown_2003/sd_1.html.

Their site provides a sample letter to send to legislators, and a convenient link to search for the names of New York City representatives:
