2024 marks 30 years of CVH. Today, we’re launching our new look!

Over the last year, we engaged in a rigorous process with members, board members, & partners to help us refresh our logo, tagline, and visuals.

Here's to 30 more years. For people. For power.

Honoring Rev. Jesse L. Jackson’s legacy means more than remembrance. It means continuing the work he demanded: making democracy real through economic justice.

At Community Voices Heard, we’ll keep organizing for dignified housing and economic security for New Yorkers.
