NACLA

NACLA is a non-profit that focuses on research and advocacy. Its headquarters sit above a bustling Washington Square corner, at 53 Washington Square S fl 4w, New York, NY 10012. The organization regularly publishes Report on the Americas, hosts public forums, and crafts policy briefs aimed at shaping North American affairs—three activities often mentioned in passing by neighborhood readers who spot the unassuming entrance.

Visitors dropping by won’t find a gift shop or café; instead, the space is designed for quiet study and strategy sessions. Scholars, activists, and journalists sometimes linger at the tables outside, where brochures about trade policy flutter in the breeze. Events here usually draw a niche crowd—students scribbling notes, lawyers comparing case files—united by a shared interest in hemispheric issues.

Questions about upcoming workshops can be answered by calling (212) 992-6965. If you’re navigating the Village’s angular streets, the directions take you past a historic arch and down a one-way block where tour groups sometimes pause to photograph Washington Square Park.
