Advocacy

Newcomers have significant handicaps that impede their ability to adjust to living in the US coupled with legislative ideologies that restrict access to basic safety net services based on immigration status. We believed that the experience of increasing economic, social and psychological stress and family problem, new immigrant families including children and youth present unique challenges ranging from cultural differences to policy ideologies regarding their stay and maintenance.

Our social services advocates and legal team:

•    help our client community recover their unpaid wages in court or through administrative  proceedings;
•    prepare and distribute educational materials on developing issues regarding immigrant;
•    promote public policies and systemic reforms that recognize the contributions of hardworking immigrants to New York’s economy and communities, and reduce the abuse and exploitation of immigrants.
•    visit areas where immigrants workers gather, work, and live to counsel workers regarding their legal rights;
