Citizen Action Head Defends Economic Justice Agenda in Empire Page Interview

ALBANY, NY (03/14/2010)(readMedia)-- Karen Scharff, executive director of Citizen Action of New York, defended her groups' "economic justice" agenda in an interview published today by the Empire Page website.

"We can only return to economic growth by investing in people: we can't have sustainable economic growth without economic justice," Scharff states.

Citizen Action is a statewide grassroots membership organization that "takes on big issues that are at the center of transforming American society," according to Sharff.

CANY supports progressive taxation, health care reform and public financing of political campaigns. They are part of a coalition of groups that are calling for a millionaire's tax to help balance New York's budget.
