This Sanctuary Senate District Initiative, the Immigrant Defense Coalition, and our continued outreach will assist our immigrant communities through these anxious times. We have a Trump administration imposing draconian, unjust restrictions and promising more. As leaders in a city that has welcomed immigrant communities for hundreds of years, we need to fight back and reassure our immigrant friends and neighbors that we stand together in protecting them. Through delivering services in the neighborhood and through advancing immigrant protections in Albany, we reaffirm New York’s longstanding commitment to our immigrant communities.
