Reinvent Albany advocates for transparent and accountable New York government. We work to strengthen FOIL, put government information online, and are vocal advocates for open data laws and practices. We also advocate for more accountable and better-governed state authorities, including the MTA. We seek to create a state government that is responsible, responsive and above board and thus we fight for public integrity measures and against laws and practices that increase the risk of corruption and favor the few and well-connected over the public interest.

Hunter College Urban Policy and Planning is the host for CityCamp NYC 2026. Since Paul Davidoff founded the department in 1965 on the principles of advocacy planning and social justice, UPP has held that cities are made better when the people who live in them help shape the decisions that affect their lives. CityCamp brings that belief to campus for a day, connecting the department’s students and faculty with the residents, community organizations, and public servants working to make New York a fairer, more open, and better-run city.
