The People’s Plan (TPP) is a collective vision for a City that provides dignity, care and justice for all New Yorkers – and an engine that fights for that vision. The coalition uses grassroots advocacy as our primary strategy to build political power for low-income New Yorkers of color. Zara Nasir serves as our executive director.
TPP began in mid-2020 as a collaborative policy platforming project leading into the 2021 city-wide elections. In late 2021 and 2022, after the election of Mayor Eric Adams, who had ranked at the bottom of many of our mayoral scorecards, we shifted focus to advocacy against Mayor Eric Adams’ regressive policy agenda and austerity budgeting. Since Spring of 2022, we are focused on our anti-austerity People’s Budget campaign to fight against Mayor Adams’ gutting of the City’s social safety net and for #CareNotCuts.
