PPEF has a long history of policy victories with tremendous impact on the most vulnerable populations in New York State. Dating back to 1983, when our sister organization, Citizen Action of New York, stopped utility price hikes that would have serious impact on Black, Brown and low income communities, our organization has catapulted as the primary organization with the strength to combat the exploitation and lack of access for services in our communities. Unlike many grassroots community organizations based in NYC, our work stretches across the geographic diversity of NY. Each year, PPEF’s grassroots outreach, public education, research reports and coalition building efforts in NYS and our regions play a significant role in major programmatic victories that promote economic and racial justice with equitable outcomes and a partner with citizen action.
