This powerful movement demands the rich pay what they owe to fund our future. Will @governor.ny.gov listen? 🤔

No other young person. No other mother. No other family should have to endure this pain.

Her son has Special Immigrant Juvenile Status, deferred action, and a work permit. He was building his future and had already registered to start classes at Valhalla Community College.

If the New York for All Act had been in effect, this collaboration would have been illegal. #NY4All /2

On November 30, our member’s son was unjustly arrested by Port Chester police and handed over to immigration authorities.

This should never have happened. /1

He and others were handcuffed and transferred to an ICE detention center.

The New York for All Act (#NY4All) would end this inhumane collaboration between local police & ICE that tears families apart.

Later, they learned Hempstead police had stopped him on a public sidewalk near Home Depot while he was returning to pick up his bike, alleging trespassing.

He was taken to the Mineola precinct in Nassau County, where ICE agents were waiting inside the station. /2

On August 15, a father never came home. His children were left scared and heartbroken, knowing he would never abandon them.

At first, the family only knew immigration authorities had detained him. /1

🧸A major step towards universal childcare: free 2-K for 2,000 NYC children starting this Fall!

This week, we joined @governor.ny.gov & @mayor.nyc.gov to celebrate the announcement of free 2-K for eligible New Yorkers. This initiative will be a relief for many parents struggling to make ends meet.

Majority of New Yorkers want to tax the rich in NYC An even larger majority of New York City residents want to raise income taxes on millionaires in the city, according to a new Siena poll.

"A majority of New Yorkers – including more than 60% of New York City residents – support Mamdani’s proposal to raise income taxes on millionaires in the city, according to a new Siena poll."

💪We couldn't agree more with @mayor.nyc.gov. Albany must #TaxTheRich so we can #InvestInOurNY!

ICE has detained more than 120 kids in 'inhumane' hold rooms in NYC under Trump Detainees held in the rooms have complained of crowded conditions and lack of food, soap, hygiene products, and access to attorneys.

"Ingrid’s children are among the dozens detained under President Donald Trump’s administration at ICE hold rooms in Lower Manhattan, according to a Gothamist analysis of ICE data. The revelations come as the number of children in ICE custody nationwide has skyrocketed."

📣 Today, our members joined the @nyrenews.bsky.social coalition at City Hall to fight against Gov. Hochul’s continued rollback of NY’s climate commitments, especially as the Trump administration guts national environmental protections.

It’s time for NY to transition to affordable and clean energy!

On Jan. 30, @governor.ny.gov proposed banning 287(g) agreements between local law enforcement & ICE.

But that alone won’t shield NYers from a mass deportation agenda.

The New York for All Act (#NY4All) would stop local + state resources from fueling family separation.

Who is Rafael Rubio, the NYC Council staffer still being held by ICE? The City Council employee detained in January has shown how vulnerable New York City’s immigrants can be – even those with documentation and powerful allies.

"There are still a good amount of ICE agents in New York terrorizing our communities,” said our Deputy Director, Natalia Aristizabal.

Despite his connection to elected officials in NYC, Rafael is one of the numerous documented immigrants still being detained by ICE. Learn more about his story.⬇️

Our allied elected officials have been working tirelessly to push for immigration protections and a solution to the accessibility crisis New Yorkers are facing.

Without the New York for All Act (#NY4All) or the #InvestInOurNY package, immigrant + working-class communities will remain vulnerable.

Immigrants and IRS: Can ICE Get My Home Address From My Tax Return? - Documented Undocumented immigrants filing taxes this year face fear and uncertainty as an ICE and IRS collaboration raises concerns about data privacy and deportation efforts. Here's what the experts say.

“It's possible that by filing with their address for the first time, should info sharing be permitted in the future between the IRS and DHS and ICE, there could be some risk that addresses would be shared,” said our Co-legal Director.
