In order to achieve true equity, opportunity, and inclusion for all New Yorkers, our Blueprint outlines a clear path for progress in how we welcome newcomers and advance climate justice. Empire State Rising focuses on five key areas that are critical to the well-being and future of immigrant and other vulnerable communities:
- Ending state support for deportation and detention
- Building political power
- Ensuring quality education for all
- Promoting economic justice
- Fostering healthy, thriving communities
Drawing from the NYIC’s history of leading and winning major campaigns, which include expanding access to driver’s licenses and Medicaid, passing the NYS Dream Act and Protect Our Courts Act, and removing the racist citizenship question from the 2020 census to deliver billions of dollars to New York—this blueprint offers community-driven solutions that will deliver material conditional change for all New Yorkers through specific policy proposals.
New York can continue its legacy as a beacon of hope, progress, and opportunity for immigrants by pursuing the Blueprint’s roadmap. By empowering immigrants, we can build a future where every New Yorker has the opportunity to succeed and contribute to the state’s growth.
Together, we can make this vision a reality. We are committed to this fight, and with your continued support, we can reshape the future of New York.
