New York Chapter

Empire State Progress

Bringing pragmatic, market-oriented solutions to New York's diverse communities—from NYC to upstate—to expand opportunity, reduce costs, and restore prosperity.

About Move Forward New York

New York has always been a state of ambition, diversity, and opportunity. From Ellis Island to Wall Street to the innovation hubs of today. Move Forward New York works to restore that promise through practical reforms with practical, market-based solutions:

  • Transform housing policy to make homeownership and affordability achievable
  • Reduce regulatory barriers that stifle small business and entrepreneurship
  • Expand educational choice and opportunity for all New York families
  • Simplify taxation while maintaining vital public services
  • Promote sustainable growth through market mechanisms, not mandates

Our State Priorities Content Coming Soon

We're currently developing New York-specific policy priorities. Check back soon for detailed proposals on:

Housing Abundance

New York's housing crisis demands bold action. We support YIMBY reforms, zoning changes, and market-based approaches to dramatically increase housing supply and restore affordability.

Small Business & Entrepreneurship

Reducing occupational licensing barriers, simplifying regulations, and cutting through red tape to unleash New York's economic energy—especially in underserved communities.

Education Innovation

Expanding charter schools, supporting educational choice, and ensuring every New York student has access to quality education regardless of their zip code or family income.

Sustainable Prosperity

Market-based environmental solutions that reduce emissions while supporting economic growth—proving that prosperity and sustainability go hand in hand.

Chapter Leadership Organizing

We're building our New York chapter leadership team across the state's diverse regions. From the Bay Area to San Diego, Sacramento to the Central Valley—we need leaders committed to pragmatic solutions.
