As Transition Committee members, they will advise on mayoral appointments, policy priorities, and support his administration in ushering in a new era of affordability for New Yorkers.

For over 20 years, Partners for Dignity & Rights has worked to strengthen grassroots and worker-led coalitions by providing research, policy development, campaign support and coalition-building to advance policies and models that protect our rights and expand access to public goods. Under the current administration, the very fabric of our work is an affront to those seeking to consolidate power, rule by fiat, and terrorize the poor, immigrants, and workers while rapidly expanding benefits for themselves.

At this pivotal moment for our nation, we ask you to give and support our critical mission to expand access to public goods and services and protect the rights of vulnerable communities. Consider becoming a monthly sustainer, meeting with our leadership team to learn more about our work, and sharing our organization with your network. https://dignityandrights.org/donate/
