Who We Are

The East Village Community Coalition works to recognize, support, and sustain the built and cultural character of New York City's East Village.  This character includes a diverse population; low-rise, human scale, blocks and affordable buildings with historic and architectural significance; a multitude of community gardens; indigenous stores and businesses; and the neighborhood's history and ongoing tradition as a haven for those seeking freedom to express artistic, creative, and social concerns.

-Choose creativity and personality over uniformity

-Keep more money in the community

-Provide economic activity and stability

-Sustain small business owners who strengthen the local economy

-Defend our neighborhood's identity

-Fight the lie that low prices at chain stores make up for the loss of local business ownership
