Remote In Nys: Invest In Our New York Campaign Coalition Coordinator 🔥


The Invest in Our New York [1] campaign launched in January of 2021 as New York State reeled from the impact of COVID-19 on top of decades of austerity budgeting and community divestment. Founded by key New York State community organizations, issue coalitions and economic experts, our goal remains: to transform New York’s regressive tax system into a progressive model that truly funds the needs of our communities and to transform New York’s economy so that it works for the many, not the few wealthy and well connected. IONY has 100s of organizations and coalitions representing diverse issues, geographies and constituencies at the table, making coordination and communication critical. 

Our 2021 campaign [2] was a critical first step, resulting in historic firsts such as the Excluded Workers Fund and the largest tax increases on New York’s wealthy in decades. But now, as New Yorkers head into a defining election year across gubernatorial and other races, we have a chance to shape even further the next decade of tax, investment and economic policies while we build the power of the people statewide.
