1,000s of immigrant students in @NYCSchools will be impacted by the mayor's latest DHS eviction policy. These children entirely account for the recent increase in enrollment. If we force families out of the city, enrollment & budgets will decline for more than ½ our schools.

The First Step: Paving the Path for Immigrant Students from @thenyic — https://t.co/lRoeA18MUN
NYC must increase the number of high schools well-prepared to serve recently arrived immigrant youth. This investment builds capacity to serve a large portion of our city’s students.🎓
The mayor must fully fund services for our communities
Our priorities remain crystal clear: legal services, transfer schools, language justice, and more
From Wolof to Mandarin, people of all backgrounds deserve a shot at a dignified life in our city
And $300 K for the 6 fairly new Transfer schools that help our immigrant and asylum seeking students learn English from Certified ENL teachers, catch up on credits, find jobs and so much more !!! Thank you Naveed for your support 🙌🏾
@thenyic rally today to invest in our city's future. I made a modest demand: @NYCSchools adds $500k for Project SOARING & 10 high schools get evidence-based PD by educator experts. We all benefit from a very high ROI by using best practices for new immigrant students. Let's go!🌍
My father Ivan Hunter, has been missing since last week Friday. He was last seen just South of Prospect Park around Woodruff Avenue. He’s about 5’-9” with a slim build. If you have seen him or have any leads, please contact me or emergency services. https://t.co/0UgvAeaynQ

It’s the same thing, different year: anti-Blackness and white supremacy.
For far too long the call for housing, work, health & support services for Black migrants have gone unheard.
Today, 1000+ Black immigrants and advocacy orgs like ACT showed up at NY City Hall to amplify their voices and make their concerns heard!
1000+ migrants have gathered in City Hall Park before & during the City Council’s oversight hearing today on the experiences of Black migrants in NYC. Many told me their #1 ask is help to get work permits. @Documentedny
I want to thank @CMMercedesCD46 for co-chairing this hearing with our team
It is incumbent that we play a proactive role in acclimating our newest neighbors, facilitating pathways to work authorization, and connecting immigrants to culturally appropriate resources so they thrive
