Merchant Organizing
The success of the Working Together campaign is founded heavily on the engagement, empowerment and organizing of East Harlem small businesses.
In order to ensure that the benefits of economic development are felt and driven by merchants in the community, the Working Together campaign supports organizing merchants on the East 116th Street and East 125th Street corridor.
Mission of East Harlem Community Alliance
The Alliance undertakes joint projects and activities designed to strengthen the economic base of East Harlem through improving the community’s knowledge about and access to local products and services. The Alliance also serves as a forum through which member organizations can connect with one another, share information, and expand their involvement in the East Harlem community.
