NYers overwhelmingly want us to take on ICE’s reign of terror.
Nurul Alam was turned over to the Feds for deportation by local police. They left him to die out in the cold.
The ONLY proposal to prevent another Nurul Alam from dying is New York for All.

Here are some specifics for what a special session could look at and pass:
New York for All
Access to legal representation + $$$
Shield laws for gender-affirming care
Protections for protestors
the Housing Access Voucher Program
Universal Childcare
There are plenty of ideas.
There's chatter about a special session at Somos to Trump-proof New York. State Sen. Gustavo Rivera is sounding the alarm bell and trying to drum up support before delving into policy specifics cityandstateny.com/politics/…

Colleagues , let's show our support for A.7235 in our native languages! As sponsor, I urge the Assembly to follow the Senate's lead in advancing language access legislation, crucial for equitable access to essential services for immigrant New Yorkers. #LanguageAccess #Equity
Orgulloso y patrocinador destacado de A.7235, insto a mis colegas en la Asamblea a seguir el ejemplo del Senado en avanzar la legislación de acceso al idioma, enfatizando su papel crítico en garantizar un acceso equitativo a servicios esenciales para los neoyorquinos inmigrantes.

"My Dad was rushed to hospital because he had a heart attack, and the reason for the heart attack was b/c he was allergic to shrimp. That information, due to the language barrier, was not communicated correctly...NY needs the Language Access Expansion Act " -Patience @ACCESSofWNY

Support for the Access to Representation Act is from the ground up! Congrats to all the folks in Albany that made this happen! This year's budget MUST include $150M and the ARA!
“We’re incredibly thankful for Council members who are standing up for what’s right and urge more local officials across the state to join them in strengthening our communities by embracing newcomers.” @HeyItsMurad

In Albany, w/our members advocating for the expansion of Language Access Bill S.3383-A/A.7235.
Lack of language access is one of NY’s immigrant communities’ most significant barriers.
TY @MannyDeLosSanto, @HarveyforNY, @JonRivera149 & @AMBichotte for supporting & joining us.

NEW: ICE Out! NYC calls Mayor Adams’s comments on rolling back the City’s sanctuary laws, which limit collusion between city agencies and federal immigration enforcement, reckless, dangerous and unfairly vilify migrants for political gain. Full statement: immigrantdefenseproject.org/…

In case you didn't know 🤔
Immigrants play a major role in New York’s workforce and economy by paying billions in taxes that help fund social services and programs like Medicare and Social Security. #ImmigrantsAreNY
