On Tuesday, February 14th, MinKwon will join New Yorkers from all over the state in mobilizing to Albany for a statewide day of Lobbying and Action! We will be demanding passage of the #AccessToRepresentationAct to support safety and fairness for immigrants at risk of deportation.
The passage of the Access to Representation Act would establish the right to legal counsel for people facing deportation, regardless of their ability to pay. All immigrants deserve to be supported with this bill's passage, which would ensure that they appear in immigration court with an attorney to help them understand their options and make informed choices.
Advocacy for the Access to Representation Act in New York can help move us closer to ending immigration detention and the deportation pipeline, which is the next powerful step in promoting fairness and human dignity for immigrants.
Rides will be provided to Albany at 6am in front of the MinKwon Center (133-29 41st Ave. Flushing), and we will return around 3-4pm. If you'd like to participate or have any questions/concerns, please let us know by calling (718) 460-5600.
