It’s not enough to protect just our public schools and hospitals — we need to protect ALL spaces for New Yorkers, children, and families.

Right here in my district, I’ve heard from childcare centers and churches who haven’t received ANY guidance from City Hall on how to deal with ICE.

And I’ll be honest: New Yorkers are scared. People are being taken by ICE without judicial orders, children and their families are being deported, and Mayor Adams isn’t keeping us safe.

New Yorkers need real leadership — something Mayor Adams hasn’t provided in a long time. Add your name if you agree: our next Mayor must be ready to protect New Yorkers.

One way to step up as an ally — especially if you’re a restaurant or small business owner — is to establish safe spaces for employees only so ICE can’t enter without a judicial order.

In solidarity,
