Thankful for my union that provides training to us and assistance to immigrants. Thankful to my student who created a list for those we help. Please consider giving a book to a child.
I've been an Immigration Court observer at 26 Fed'l Plaza in NYC. While we're powerless against ICE, we do connect people w/ social workers & legal aid. We also give out children's books in court. A former student created this & we welcome children's books in Spanish. Here's Jeanneane's list:
