Abstract
This essay will proceed by describing the emergence of corporatism in New York City and the deleterious consequences it has produced for communities throughout the city; articulating the ways in which commercial and policy platforms serve corporate "citizens" while impairing an array of indigenous platforms.
After establishing the depth of this crisis, I will examine four organizations, each of which serves to build and enhance the autonomy of communities across the boroughs, and put forth various means of conserving and supplementing useful models of civic consortium. I seek to offer tools to the gritty independent art scenes, grassroots movements, self-starters, activists and advocates, as well as anyone who wishes to strengthen that which is cherished in their local community to maintain and boost their effectiveness in New York City, despite challenges, by identifying and outlining organizational solutions still available to the working class.
