The Cooper Square Committee advocates for affordable housing and tenant rights in the Lower East Side, focusing on anti-displacement efforts, tenant counseling, and creating permanently affordable homes to ensure community stability and diversity.

Every ticket is a concrete step toward resisting displacement, backing community-led development, and expanding our organizing and workshops for local tenants.
