Citizens Union Board of Directors

There are two arms of Citizens Union: Citizens Union of the City of New York (a 501(c) 4 organization) and Citizens Union Foundation (a 501(c) 3 organization). Citizens Union is our lobbying arm, enabling us to advocate for policy that serves the people of New York—not moneyed interest.
