New Economy Project

New Economy Project coordinates Public Bank NYC, a broad-based coalition of community, worker justice, environmental, and economic justice groups. The coalition is pressing for the creation of a municipal public bank in NYC, as part of a broader vision for economic and racial justice..

New Economy Project coordinates the New York State Community Equity Agenda, a broad-based coalition of more than 40 organizations fighting for a economic democracy and racial justice. Launched in 2017, the coalition works to advance a just economy and build institutions that are led by and support Black, brown, and working class communities. The Community Equity Agenda coalition believes that New York must pursue community economic development that creates infrastructure for building wealth, power, resiliency, and self-determination, in historically-redlined communities. Policy priorities include concrete actions that New York can and must take right now to lay critical groundwork for a just recovery and future rooted in racial and social justice, workers' rights, cooperation, and ecological sustainability.

New Economy Project coordinates various community land trust (CLT) and social housing initiatives, and plays a key role in the NYC Community Land Initiative (NYCCLI) coalition, an alliance of social justice and affordable housing organizations committed to winning housing for all New Yorkers. NYCCLI includes grassroots, community- and faith-based, labor, and city-wide organizations working to advance CLTs to address root causes of homelessness and displacement.
