Two Days Left to Pass Protections for Immigrants

New York's legislative session ends tomorrow and immigrants can't wait any longer for elected officials to pass critical legislation that protects and invests in our communities. Two of the bills we’re fighting for and what you can do:
* New York for All puts an end to state + local agency collusion with ICE, keeping resources within our communities and families together ✍️ Contact your elected official now & urge them to pass #NY4All ([link removed])
* Many New Yorkers are not fully informed of the immigration consequences of a plea in a criminal case. Passing the Court Notification Bill would help prevent wrongful deportations and keep families together. Tell Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie to bring this bill to a vote now ([link removed]) .
