Dignity not Detention Weekly Phone Zap
Every Friday, 12:00pm - 1:00pm
It’s that time of year: time to pass the New York Dignity Not Detention Act. Let’s get it through this session and end ICE detention in New York! These weekly zaps help pressure state elected officials to sign on as cosponsors to the New York Dignity Not Detention Act (S.306/A.4354), which would prohibit New York governmental entities from contracting with ICE to cage immigrants. The campaign will be doing these zaps every Friday, so if you can’t make this one, don’t worry, there will be more to come!
