Faith in New York is a multi-faith, multi-issue, multi-lingual citywide network of over 70 congregations representing over 80,000 residents of New York City. We are committed to the work of justice and faith-rooted community organizing in order to influence polices and systems that will create a more just and equitable New York for all New Yorkers. Faith in New York is an affiliate of Faith in Action (formerly PICO National Network), the largest faith-based community organization in the country.
Our Areas of Work:
Faith in New York's mission is to develop grassroots leaders and equip congregations to move significant public policy change that supports our leaders’ vision of a more just New York with excellent public schools, violence-free neighborhoods, access to good jobs, adequate and affordable health care, decent housing for all, and a place where people of all backgrounds can fully participate in economic and civic life. Faith in New York operates in low income, working class communities that are 70% immigrant and over 85% people of color.
