It is true that RSCC imploded, however NYCSJP is a different group. It is basically the SJPs of the CUNY colleges. I find their work to be highly effective. Also, the question wasn't about who is perfect, but rather who is doing "better" organizing. If Americans Knew is a media advocacy org. I think they do great work, but they are not a community organization or something.
