As an organization that fights for poor people in NYC we’ve seen the violence that Wall Street policies do to our communities first hand. For that reason we’ve taken it on ourselves to highlight the influence New York’s billionaire elite have wielded in the Democratic Primary.
We push the envelope to confront politicians on stances that hurt our families. In doing so, we went too far in our protest of Vice President Biden. Our anger over his previous votes should not have clouded our judgment. We apologize to Vice President Biden.
Our protest is now being used in a disinformation campaign by Mike Bloomberg. He is spending hundreds of millions to buy the presidency and falsely claiming that we are in support of any presidential candidate.

This isn’t the first time Mike Bloomberg’s presidential campaign has misrepresented our organization and what we do. One of our organizers was featured in a Bloomberg campaign ad that falsely aligned Mike Bloomberg with the climate justice movement.
NYCC has not supported any candidate for president. We have pushed the issues that affect our members, from housing, to policing, to raising the minimum wage.
All of our positions are at odds with Mike Bloomberg’s agenda. He is a billionaire that destroyed our city and did as best he could to make it a city for the rich, while stopping and frisking millions of black and brown New Yorkers unjustly.
