About New Economy Project
New Economy Project is a nonprofit based in New York City that works with community groups on economic justice. According to its website, the group aims to create an economy that serves everyone, grounded in racial and neighborhood equity, cooperation, and environmental sustainability.

Its legal program helps low-income New Yorkers defend their economic rights through individual legal assistance and impact litigation. The organization operates the NYC Financial Justice Hotline, a phone line that gives callers free information, legal advice, and referrals. Its online library of Know Your Rights guides covers topics including payday lending and debt collection. A separate lending arm, the New Economy Loan Fund, extends low-cost financing to cooperatives in New York City. Its office address is 121 West 27th Street, Suite 804, New York, NY 10001.
