The BMCC community is invited to meet our Economics Program alum William Franklin, Founder and Director of Equitunity, a Not-for Profit based in New York City. Equitunity was formed to confront poverty in the poorest communities of the city and focuses on community development and cooperative entrepreneurship by bringing community members together to identify the needs of their community and to collectively solve their problems.
Poverty in communities is the result of joblessness, wage inequality and lack of access to credit and much more. Equitunity seeks to educate, empower and promote cooperative community entrepreneurship and local job creation in the poorest communities in NYC.
