Overview
The Industrial Jobs Coalition is a citywide alliance of community groups, policy advocates, and service providers fighting to protect and preserve manufacturing as a sector in New York.
The Project
Protecting and preserving the manufacturing sector means that more New Yorkers, regardless of their background or educational attainment, have access to good paying jobs and economic mobility.
We are advocating for a zoning framework that allows manufacturers to stay in the city and ends the speculation of industrial land. By directly engaging with elected officials and relevant agencies, we are ensuring that the jobs being created in manufacturing areas are good jobs accessible to all New Yorkers.
