For 20 years now, New Economy Project has been working with grassroots groups to end Wall Street exploitation of struggling people and communities. Our mission is to build a movement for a new, cooperative economy that works for all. In the process, we also must challenge a financial system that perpetuates poverty and inequality.
Like you, we are deeply alarmed by the state of the country, as we enter dangerous, uncharted territory. No matter what, New Economy Project will continue to fight hard for economic and racial justice, and always speak truth to power.
Please click the "Donate Now" button below to join this fight. Your donation will support highly effective programs like our NYC Financial Justice Hotline, which provides free, top-notch legal assistance to low-income New Yorkers. Everyday, financial services corporations take advantage of struggling New Yorkers through predatory lending, abusive debt collection, and other discriminatory practices. Every dollar you contribute will help New Yorkers fight back — and win.
Thanks to supporters like you, we recently settled a class action lawsuit that will bring more than $800 million worth of relief to 353,000 low-income New Yorkers. This groundbreaking case stemmed directly from calls to our hotline, and shut down a ring of debt collectors that had for years defrauded the courts and engaged in rampant due process violations.
Please make a year-end, tax-deductible contribution to New Economy Project today. Thanks to a generous gift we received in honor of our 20th anniversary, all donations made before 12/23/16 will be matched 2-to-1. We're all in this together.
