Citizen Action of New York

About Me

For 26 years, Citizen Action of New York has been fighting for social, racial, economic, and environmental justice. In 2009, we have the opportunity to seize on the progressive momentum established through last year's elections to win real change in New York and America.

We must make sure that quality, affordable health care for all, full public financing of elections, and fair state and federal budgets are at the top of the priority list. Government must work for all of us - not just some of us!
