New York City is more than just buildings and boroughs — it’s the working people who make it the greatest city in the world. From early morning bakers to late-night nurses, from small business owners to subway conductors, it’s everyday New Yorkers who keep this city running.

Empower NYC was created by and for those New Yorkers — people who believe our city’s future depends on steady, proven leadership that puts working families, public safety, and shared prosperity first. We are an independent organization committed to making sure their voices are heard — not drowned out by politics as usual.

Empower NYC is an independent expenditure committee (IE) organized under New York law. Under the City’s public matching system, mayoral campaigns that opt in face strict limits on contributions and spending. That’s why independent efforts like ours have become a vital part of citywide elections.

While we do not coordinate with any candidate or campaign — as required by law — we are fully permitted to support the election of a candidate and advocate for their success.

We have declared our intention to support Mayor Eric Adams for re-election. From public safety to housing to opportunity, he’s shown up, taken action, and delivered results for the communities that need it most.

We’re here to make sure that work continues — and that the truth is told about what’s at stake, what’s been achieved, and what’s still ahead.
