So happy to be able to participate in another World Refugee Day celebration as a part of @thenyic with amazing community leaders ❤️ it was great to see legislators there as well!! I can't wait for the next one!!!

NYers overwhelmingly want us to take on ICE’s reign of terror.

Nurul Alam was turned over to the Feds for deportation by local police. They left him to die out in the cold.

The ONLY proposal to prevent another Nurul Alam from dying is New York for All.

Here are some specifics for what a special session could look at and pass:

New York for All
Access to legal representation + $$$
Shield laws for gender-affirming care
Protections for protestors
the Housing Access Voucher Program
Universal Childcare

There are plenty of ideas.

Colleagues , let's show our support for A.7235 in our native languages! As sponsor, I urge the Assembly to follow the Senate's lead in advancing language access legislation, crucial for equitable access to essential services for immigrant New Yorkers. #LanguageAccess #Equity

"My Dad was rushed to hospital because he had a heart attack, and the reason for the heart attack was b/c he was allergic to shrimp. That information, due to the language barrier, was not communicated correctly...NY needs the Language Access Expansion Act " -Patience @ACCESSofWNY

[Meghan Maloney de Zaldivar @meghanMZBuff]

Support for the Access to Representation Act is from the ground up! Congrats to all the folks in Albany that made this happen! This year's budget MUST include $150M and the ARA!

[New York Immigration Coalition (NYIC) @thenyic]

In Albany, w/our members advocating for the expansion of Language Access Bill S.3383-A/A.7235.

Lack of language access is one of NY’s immigrant communities’ most significant barriers.

TY @MannyDeLosSanto, @HarveyforNY, @JonRivera149 & @AMBichotte for supporting & joining us.

[L. Cassandra Bocanegra @CassBP89]

[L. Cassandra Bocanegra @CassBP89]

NEW: ICE Out! NYC calls Mayor Adams’s comments on rolling back the City’s sanctuary laws, which limit collusion between city agencies and federal immigration enforcement, reckless, dangerous and unfairly vilify migrants for political gain. Full statement: https://t.co/SOcVpYT1MG

In case you didn't know 🤔

Immigrants play a major role in New York’s workforce and economy by paying billions in taxes that help fund social services and programs like Medicare and Social Security. #ImmigrantsAreNY
