NYC Artist Coalition / FairRentNYC

Cultural-space advocacy, coalition memory, and Commercial Rent Stabilization

As a founding member and organizer of NYC Artist Coalition, implemented and maintained campaign websites and helped build coalition memory, source maps, and coordination infrastructure for cultural-space advocacy, FairRentNYC, Commercial Rent Stabilization, and storefront stability.

What was emerging
The work involved many stakeholders, public/private source materials, legal and policy questions, city/state strategy lanes, shifting meetings, and sensitive coalition context that could easily become fragmented or overexposed.
What became usable
Recurring cultural-space meetings, public event pathways, practical safety and legal sessions, town halls, hearings, campaign actions, running minutes, action trackers, source maps, public campaign websites, and shared campaign memory.

What was emerging
Constituent-services data existed, but residents needed a clearer public-facing pathway from issue to relevant civic office or next step.
What became usable
An archived civic-tech prototype that organized open data into issue pathways, district context, and resident-facing guidance.
