New York Communities for Change

Since 2010, New York Communities for Change has organized campaigns including the Fight for $15 and tenant protections through the Housing Justice for All coalition. Based in Brooklyn, the organization brings neighbors together to build community power and improve their lives and communities. Its work includes community organizing, direct action, and legislative advocacy focused on safe and healthy communities across New York. Campaign issues include affordable and stable housing, economic exploitation, climate pollution, violence, and access to a social safety net regardless of immigration status. NYCC also works on labor and environmental policy, including efforts tied to fossil fuel investments and New York City's Green New Deal. Members take part in neighborhood campaigns and collective actions.
