Dear friend,
In the past year, over 130,000 people have arrived in NYC seeking refuge and safety. Here in New York, they face a severe lack of resources and a mayor who has demonized them.
In a survey we conducted of 700+ new arrivals, 72% have trouble paying for basic living expenses, 98% of them are struggling to find steady work, and 93% of asylum-seeking respondents have not been able to find a lawyer to consult with.
Support our new neighbors!
With your support, we’ve been working hard to defend the rights of newly arrived New Yorkers and meet many of their needs, ensuring that they feel welcomed and can navigate their new home.
We’ve provided one-on-one support, helping our newest neighbors access legal services, access health coverage, ensure their kids get enrolled in schools, and much more. Currently, our legal and organizing staff are hosting clinics to help eligible individuals apply for Temporary Protected Status (TPS), navigate new immigration programs, and meet the one-year filing deadline to apply for asylum and avoid deportation.
Friend, will you make a donation to ensure that thousands of new arrivals can access critical timely services? A donation of $30 increases our legal team’s capacity to process more applications for asylum or TPS, helping people to stay and thrive here.
Leading up to and on Giving Tuesday this year, all gifts will be matched dollar-for-dollar (up to a total of $10,000) ! So double your impact with a gift today.
Thank you for your support.
Jose Lopez, Arlenis Morel, and Theo Oshiro, Co-Executive Directors
Double your impact!
