As one of the largest economies in the world, New York has not only the ability but the responsibility to combat the most harmful proposals expected under the new administration. - Win President and CEO @chriscquinn
Today, Win’s Director of Policy & Research @JadeDeeV testified at the NYC Council Committee on Immigration hearing, advocating for measures to protect immigrant families from harmful policies under the incoming Trump Administration.
Her testimony outlined key recommendations from Project Hope: strengthening sanctuary laws, securing sensitive data, & increasing funding for immigration legal services to protect low-income & homeless immigrant NYers.

Yesterday, Win joined @SenatorHoylman, @CatalinaCruzNY, and city/state leaders at a roundtable to advocate for legislation ending harmful 30- and 60-day shelter limits. This bill would codify the #RightToShelter across all NYC systems and protect our most vulnerable families.
Families with children must be safeguarded from harmful shelter limits, regardless of immigration status. Thanks to @phara4assembly, @galeabrewer, @CMAlexaAviles, and @CMCrystalHudson for championing this critical legislation alongside @SenatorHoylman and @CatalinaCruzNY.
