Block Builder Capacity Building

We believe that the shared control of resources and wealth is a key component to a just society. 

We work toward the equitable control of resources through cooperative and other non-exploitative institutions, with a particular focus on Indigenous, Black and Brown communities that have been historically exploited and marginalized. Our partners are community-based institutions, worker-owned cooperatives, local organizing and grassroots campaigns that are building power in New York immigrant communities and communities of color.
