The New York State Cash Alliance is a collaborative space to advance guaranteed income (GI) and cash-related advocacy in New York. Formed in 2024, we are a growing coalition of community organizers, activists, artists, cash beneficiaries, and advocates who understand the power of cash to address economic inequities and are pushing forward legislation that would create a guaranteed income program in New York.

We take our inspiration from cash coalitions and the over 130 and counting guaranteed income demonstration programs across the United States that are proving the effectiveness of no-strings-attached cash transfers to alleviate poverty and enable financial freedom. As an Alliance, we are committed to growing the guaranteed income movement in New York through strategic campaigns, legislative endorsements, organizing, and community building. We believe that a guaranteed income for New Yorkers is possible within this lifetime and we are working towards this reality in community and in collaboration with one another.
