Allan has no criminal record & is immediately eligible to get a green card through his US citizen husband. Instead, he's at an NJ detention center & ICE is not giving Allan all of his prescribed medications at his scheduled times.

Help us reunite Allan & Matthew. Sign the petition: bit.ly/FreeAllan

NY just became the first state in the nation to eliminate co-pays for maintenance & emergency inhalers!

We thank bill sponsors, Sen. Rivera + AM @votejgr.bsky.social for their tremendous work in passing this bill.

No one should choose between buying medicine & other everyday essentials!

📱 Using your #RightToRecord!

In the U.S.– no matter what your immigration status is– you have the right to record immigration enforcement agents. This is a powerful tool for exposing their tactics, combatting abuse, and fighting detention.

The Protect Our Courts Act (POCA) helps people safely attend NY state & city courts without fearing an ICE arrest.

Although this is a victory for our communities, it's not applicable to federal courts. Immigrants attending their hearings at federal courts can still be subjected to ICE kidnappings.
