Building power &saving lives.
VOCAL-NY is a statewide grassroots membership organization that builds power among low-income people directly impacted by HIV/AIDS, the drug war, mass incarceration, and homelessness.
We accomplish this through community organizing, leadership development, advocacy, direct services, and direct action.
We have active chapters in New York City, Albany, Buffalo, Syracuse, Rochester, and Westchester County.
