Dignity Not Detention Phone Zap
Tuesday, February 4, 1:00pm - 2:00pm
For New York to be a stronghold against mass deportations, it needs to get out of the business of caging immigrants by passing the NY Dignity Not Detention Act. Democrats are scared right now, so it’s up to us to tell elected officials loud and clear: New Yorkers are committed to protecting our immigrant communities and lawmakers must pass DND this session! Weekly phone zaps have proven effective in moving legislators.
Additional Dates:
