New York Communities for Change is a Brooklyn-based nonprofit that mobilizes residents to pursue social and economic justice across New York State. The organization relies on membership-driven, community-based efforts—including direct action, legislative advocacy, and organizing—to influence political and economic policies that affect its members. Its work targets communities seeking stronger, more equitable outcomes in areas shaped by public policy and development, positioning NYCC within the nonprofit sector as an advocate for policy change through collective action. Founded and based in Brooklyn, NY, the group operates with a focus on empowering residents to use organized, community-led strategies to address local and state-level issues. A recent collaboration with Alloy Development demonstrates its involvement in efforts to shape zoning and building policies.
