The back story:
On June 5, 2007, residents of Starrett City in Brooklyn went to Albany to lobby for legislation that would extend rent regulation protection to Mitchell-Lama buildings built after 1973. They wanted to meet with Sen. Joseph Bruno, but no one would meet with them, so they began chanting, "Shame on Bruno!"

Help the Working Families Party hold the Democrats' feet to the fire.

The WFP is a grassroots, community and labor based political party with chapters throughout New York State. The goal of the Working Families Party is to more forcefully inject the issues of working-class, middle-class, and poor people—like jobs, health care, education, and housing—into the public debate, and hold candidates and elected officials accountable on those issues. Our organizing strategy is to start local, think long-term, combine campaign work with organizing and education, and not waste supporters' votes on candidates with no chance of winning.
The WFP fights for New Yorkers of ordinary means - middle class, working class and poor. We fight for families, parents, children, seniors, students - all of us. We believe everyone deserves a fair shake, and right now, we're not getting one. Issues like health care, housing, investment in schools, fair taxes, campaign finance reform, good jobs at good wages are at the top of the list. But it's a long list and we have a lot of work ahead of us. We fight strategically using our ballot line as a tool. And we are in it for the long haul, organizing locally, statewide and eventually, nationally.
