Our story And You
Queens Congregations United for Action is founded (Hereafter, QCUA)
2004
QCUA members came together in the wake of Hurricane Sandy to advocate for citywide policies that would rebuild Sandy-affected areas for residents who were most directly impacted - particularly low-income New Yorkers and people of color.
2012
In March 2013, QCUA's core clergy leadership voted to transition into a citywide structure that brought together people of faith who desired equity and justice in order to engage in interlinked issues like affordable housing and gentrification, good jobs and a just economy, mass incarceration and police brutality, immigration reform, and voting rights.
Clergy adopted the name "Faith in New York" for this new citywide organization.
