Dear John,

Immigrants are the heart of our communities, integral to NY’s cultural and economic prosperity. Right now, they are facing relentless targeted attacks by Trump and his mass deportation agenda. We are seeing community members handed over by local law enforcement to ICE for minor traffic infractions, resulting in families being ripped apart.

New Yorkers do not have to stand by and become complicit to Trump’s racist and backward policies. We can pass the New York for All Act and prove to Trump that he cannot control our state and deport our families, neighbors and workforce without a fight.

New York for All prohibits state and local officers from enforcing federal immigration laws and conspiring with ICE—protecting families from separation and keeping resources focused on real community safety.

You can join us in our fight to pass NY4All by sending a letter to your elected official, urging them to protect our immigrant communities from Trump’s mass deportation agenda!

Too many immigrant New Yorkers live in fear that everyday interactions—whether at a traffic stop, a hospital, or their child’s school—could lead to detention or family separation. This is happening right now in upstate NY, where people are being stopped for traffic infractions but end up being taken by federal immigration.

This climate of fear discourages calling 911 in emergencies, forces people into unsafe conditions, and erodes the trust needed to keep our communities truly safe.

While other states weaponize division, New York can lead with compassion. By supporting policies like New York For All, we can reject fearmongering, restore trust, and uphold our legacy as a city that welcomes and protects all families. Safety begins when no one is forced to live in the shadows.

Join us as we fight for New York for All this year!
