Building community power takes connection, strategy, and action. ANHD’s Fight Forward event series supports this work by bringing together housing, economic justice, and community development leaders throughout the year for panels, tours, conversations, and networking — all designed to strengthen our movement and spark new ideas, collaborations, and solutions.

Fight Forward is the next step in the evolution of our Annual Community Development Conference, which we launched over a decade ago to create a vital space for timely conversations about affordable housing and economic development. Over the years, the conference grew into one of New York City’s key convenings, bringing together 400+ nonprofit organizations, mission-driven developers, policymakers, financial institutions, and advocates every year.

Today, through Fight Forward, we’re expanding that impact — hosting events throughout the year that challenge participants to think critically, build new relationships, and drive the work forward with fresh energy and purpose.
