Powerful poem from People's Theatre Project and our community members who joined forces to create this collective story that represents immigrants across NYS. 🎭

“Y nosotros también queremos ser de Nueva York y lo seremos. Somos.”

“We would like to call our elected officials to pass #Coverage4All .”

Angelique Huerta w/ 1199SEIU💫 along with community members join our fight to call on Governor Kathy Hochul, Carl E. Heastie & Sen. Stewart-Cousins to deliver for immigrants in the final budget.

“ #Coverage4All would allow every person in New York that is otherwise excluded from their health care to enroll in preventative care and to get the care that they need.”

Thank you Assemblymember Jessica González-Rojas for keeping up the fight with us!
