The Cooperative Economics Alliance of NYC (CEANYC) was formed in 2015 to strengthen and expand a solidarity economy movement. We forge a shared strategy and identity amongst community-led, democratically-controlled initiatives across NYC.

Often led by low-income women of color and immigrants, democratically-governed, community-led groups face an uphill battle in New York City’s competitive, capitalist economy.  With these challenges in mind, CEANYC creates opportunities for members to coordinate economically and reduce their reliance on the profit-driven economy. We provide our members with political education and access to resources; we expand and deepen their connections; and we champion the ways they make our city more just.

We are proud to support our members and to contribute to a growing movement, across the country and the world, to build a future that is equitable, inclusive, and sustainable for all.
