Citizen Action of New York

Citizen Action of New York is a grassroots membership organization taking on big issues that are at the center of transforming society by:

Ensuring our children have a quality public education no matter their zip code
Ending our current system of mass incarceration and establishing a new system of justice
Ensuring quality affordable housing for all
Fighting for guaranteed quality, affordable health care
Taking big money out of politics by creating a fair elections system
Aiming to dismantle the historic racist system by promoting racial justice
Striving for a more progressive tax system to begin to end the runaway inequality in our state
We look for opportunities to accomplish big changes – not small, incremental reforms. We work to elect progressive candidates to office who are committed to these issues. Our power comes from the grassroots: people coming together to push the edge of the possible. Every new member helps bring New York and America closer to a society that works for all of us!
