New York Communities for Change is one of the largest grassroots, membership-driven, community-based organization in New York. Organizing in low and moderate income communities throughout New York State, NYCC uses community organizing, direct action, legislative advocacy to ensure that our members have a voice in the decisions that impact their communities. Over the next 5 years, we plan to run innovative campaigns that target and return wealth stolen from communities of color.
