For Giving Tuesday, we’re launching a fundraiser for three organizations
that provide food and support services to asylum seekers arriving in NYC
with nothing but the clothes on their backs – many sent as part of an
anti-immigrant stunt by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott.

100% of your donation will go to these three community organizations –
Make the Road NY, New Immigrant Community Empowerment (NICE), and City
Island Rising – to support families looking to make a better life for
themselves this year.

please chip in $6 or whatever you can to help these three
incredible organizations ramp up their relief efforts.

100% of your contribution will be split between these three organizations:

* New Immigrant Community Empowerment creates pathways to success and
empowerment for essential immigrant workers, and provides critical
services and resources to prevent worker exploitation and ensure
workers' safety and rights are respected. As asylum seekers arrive
looking for employment, NICE provides workforce development training,
know-your-rights education, and safety training for work permits that
might cost an asylum seeker hundreds of dollars to obtain privately.

* Make the Road NY offers an array of education, health, and legal
services for immigrant and working class communities in NYC. Make the
Road has been meeting asylum seekers new to NY as they disembark at
the bus station to offer supportive services like housing assistance
referrals and case management, and to distribute prepaid cell phones,
Metrocards to access public transit, and cash assistance.

* City Island Rising’s goal is to strengthen the social and cultural
fabric of New York’s diversity by leveraging community-driven
solutions to city-wide problems. As more asylum seekers arrive in NYC,
City Island Rising is operating a food pantry and clothing drives to
support migrant families that came here with little to nothing while
they await immigration hearings. 

We’ve seen this movement step up to achieve incredible things before. Just
last year, together we raised $7.36 million for mutual aid groups and
other relief programs, and we need your help to continue to provide urgent
relief to those in need – especially during the holidays.

[ [link removed] ]If you are able to donate, please pitch in $6 — or
whatever you can afford — and your donation will be automatically split
between these three organizations working to build power for local working
class and immigrant communities.

Wishing you and your loved ones a happy holiday season.

— Team AOC
