We are a coalition of grassroots organizations advocating for immigrants and communities of color impacted by the immigration and criminal legal systems.
This #FathersDay we honor fathers and their families who currently remain in limbo within our broken clemency process–like lifelong NYer, Mr. Charpentier, who's one of thousands going through the emotionally grueling wait for a decision on his clemency application. @clemency_ny
NEW: Last week @govkathyhochul granted 11 pardons, some of those to immigrants with deep roots in their communities who face immigration consequences because of their convictions. IDP applauds the governor's granting of clemency AND calls for year-round clemency
Migration is beautiful!🦋 We celebrate the vibrancy and contributions of our communities to the state by demanding the NYS legislature take action NOW to protect our families & communities from family separation! Pass the #NY4All Act! https://t.co/0dUUQygr5J
The Clemency Coalition of NY wishes @GovKathyHochul a Happy Valentine's Day! There's no better day to show your care than using your clemency powers today to bring relief to New Yorkers whose clemency applications are still awaiting your response. https://t.co/TLTzJizRK4
Thousands of NYers like Winny spend years awaiting a response to their pardon petition. For immigrant NYers the wait carries the risk of deportation + separation.
@GovKathyHochul, celebrate #ValentinesDay by supporting a clear, humane #clemency process: https://t.co/OOi05h0715
