John, 
 
Access to Representation is about keeping families together across New York State. We’re demanding an increase in legal services funding and the right to counsel in deportation proceedings, so no one is forced to represent themselves alone in court against a trained government attorney. This is the fight for basic civil rights and due process in New York, and we need your help to win! 

Listen to Karen and Joaris share their experiences needing legal service funding, and then share their stories on social media! By posting to Twitter, you help build support for access to representation and justice across our state. 
"When I arrived in the US, I tried looking for free legal representation, which was impossible to find." Karen @WorkersCNY
 
@CarlHeastie & @AndreaSCousins, #ARA would make NYS the 1st to establish a right to counsel for people in immigration proceedings.

Access to representation is essential to building a safe and free life—it’s time for New York to step up and protect this fundamental right for our immigrant communities. Together, we can build a just and equitable future for everyone who calls New York home.
 

Onward,
