With unending sudden changes in federal mandates, immigration has been a central point of tension in our current political sphere. Recent changes include rescinding the "Sensitive Location Policy" which maintains certain spaces as safe spaces, such as schools and places of worship, from immigration enforcement. Due to a targeting of perceived "others," the community is left to fear for their safety. On this episode of The Public Good, Anna Porter with the New York Immigration Coalition joins us to educate on knowing your rights with immigration enforcement. There are many federal changes happening on a weekly basis creating unease and fear in communities. Tune into the discussion to learn about what you can do and how to keep each other safe.

On Monday, March 24, the New York Immigration Coalition, immigrant New Yorkers and allies rallied with state lawmakers at the state Capitol in support of the Access to Representation Act (ARA, S141/A270) and the Building Up Immigrant Legal Defense Act (BUILD Act, A2689/S4538. They also called for $165 million in the State budget for immigration legal services and infrastructure. The ARA would be the first of its kind in the nation, guaranteeing immigrants facing deportation the right to legal counsel in New York State and ensuring they have a fair chance to fight for their freedom. The BUILD Act lays the groundwork for ARA by investing in the critical legal infrastructure needed for service providers to create, maintain and expand programs to protect immigrant New Yorkers. We hear from the emcee, Tiffany Jade Monroe of the Caribbean Equality Project; the two lead sponsors, Senator Brad Hoylman-Sigel and Assemblymember Catalina Cruz; and immigration attorney Brittany Triggs.

A group of several dozen migrants joined liberal Democrat politicians in New York City on Thursday to protest for even more government benefits for “newcomers.” The New York Immigration Coalition joined a group of elected Democrat officials on the steps of City Hall to demand more money from the city budget to be dedicated to migrants, according to Caribbean Life. The activists demanded an array of higher spending, including an additional $109 million for free legal services for immigrants, $5 million for language services, $25 million in support for two city programs for illegal aliens, and an end to policies that evict migrants from shelters after a prescribed time. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/darien-dunstan3/message

Cesar Chavez Day was Sunday, and it's the day when Americans honor the late Latino civil rights icon and labor activist. Chavez is most known for co-founding the United Farm Workers (UFW) — the nation's first-ever farmworker union. He dedicated his life to the fight for better working conditions and wages for people who were part of the agricultural workforce — many of whom were migrants. And while Chavez's track record on immigration is complicated, UFW is one of many organizations that currently advocates for the rights of undocumented workers, more pathways to citizenship, and overall immigration reform.In this special episode, we host a roundtable with Dani Marrero Hi of La Uniòn del Pueblo Entro, Liza Schwartzwald of the New York Immigration Coalition, and Pulitzer Prize-winning immigration journalist Molly O'Toole.

On this edition, we take a look at the Biden administration’s initial steps at developing an immigration policy agenda. As you may know, President Biden signed three executive orders in early February that he said would lead to a more "fair, orderly, humane" immigration system.” But is it enough? We spoke with Patrick Young, who served as an immigration lawyer with the Central American Refugee Center (CARECEN) for 35 years. He is Special Professor of Immigration Law at Hofstra School of Law and he is currently the Downstate Advocacy Director for the New York Immigration Coalition; and Nadia Marin Molina is Co-Executive Director of the National Day Laborer Organizing Network (NDLON), leading the Workers Center and Workers Rights areas of work. An attorney who has devoted her career to advancing the rights of immigrants in the workplace, she was formerly the executive director of the Workplace Project, and served on Biden’s transition team. Then, in the second part of the show, we examined the so-called Latino voter, a few months after the historic elections of last November. A lot has been written and said about what some pundits described as new trends in the Latino electorate in 2020. We were joined by independent journalist Michelle Garcia, who’ll tell us why it’s not anything new, it’s just that mainstream media pundits continue to misunderstand the complex dynamics that make up the diverse Latino population in the US. Hosted by Mario A. Murillo.Originally aired on 02/16/2021 on WRHU-FM

Ira Pastor, ideaXme life sciences ambassador, interviews Bakary Tandia, Co-Founder of the Abolition Institute, a group working to promote awareness of, and dedicated to ending, the practice of slavery in the west African country of Mauritania. Slavery and enslavement are defined of the state and condition of being a slave, where the individual cannot quit their service to another person and is treated like property. In chattel slavery, the enslaved person is legally rendered the personal property of the slave owner. In economics, the term de facto slavery describes the conditions of unfree labor and forced labor that most slaves endure. In the course of human history, while slavery was often a feature of civilization and legal in most societies, it is now outlawed in all countries of the world. In 2019, approximately 40 million people, of whom 26 percent were children, were enslaved throughout the world despite it being illegal. In the modern world, more than 50 percent of enslaved people provide forced labor, usually in the factories and sweatshops of the private sector of a country's economy. In the industrialized countries, human trafficking is the modern variety of slavery; in the unindustrialized countries, enslavement by debt bondage is a common form of enslaving a person, such as captive domestic servants, forced marriage, and child soldiers. Modern day slavery is a multibillion-dollar industry with just the forced labor aspect generating US $150 billion each year. Bakary Tandia: Bakary Tandia is a well-respected and dynamic human rights advocate with an extensive background in promoting human rights and social justice causes and Co-Founder of the Abolition Institute, a group working to promote awareness of, and dedicated to ending, the practice of slavery in the west African country of Mauritania, where it is estimated that around 90,000 people (over 2% of Mauritania's population) are chattel slaves. Bakary is a graduate of the Global Masters Program in International Affairs, Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, Tufts University, and holds bachelor degrees in International Criminal Justice from John Jay College of Criminal Justice at the City University of New York, and Criminology from the University of Abidjan (Ivory Coast). In addition to that, Bakary is a graduate of the Human Rights Advocates Program, at Columbia University, where he served as an Advocacy Workshop facilitator helping to educate and empower human rights activists around the world. Bakary also works as a Case Manager and Policy Advocate at African Services Committee, a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the health and self-sufficiency of the African community in New York City, USA and beyond. Bakary has spoken on human rights issues at more than 100 universities and colleges around the United States and played a leadership role in major conferences and trainings around the world. As a member of the African NGOs Coordinating Committee representing the African Diaspora during the World Conference against Racism, he developed strong relationships with human rights organizations across the continent. Bakary Tandia was recipient of the 2005 New American Leaders Fellowship Program jointly sponsored by Coro Leadership Center and The New York Immigration Coalition and was a participant in the Hamburg-New York 2007 IntegrationXchange 2007, a program jointly sponsored through Department of Child Services by the U.S. State Department and the Koeberg Foundation, Germany. On this episode we will hear from Bakary Tandia about: His background – how he developed an interest in criminology, criminal justice, and international affairs, and his path towards involvement and advocacy in the modern day abolitionist movement. The background history and current situation related to chattel slavery in Mauritania. The Abolition Institute – its background, funders, and partners. The Abolition Institute's work on slave rehabilitation and activity on the political front. His work with the African Services Committee. Abolition movement synergies with the current Black lives Matter movement. Visit ideaXme: www.radioideaxme.com This interview is in American English.

A conversation with Steve Choi begins with his upending of assumptions about which immigrants and refugees live in New York State and where. It provides a view into how the New York Immigration Coalition, the nonprofit he leads, mobilizes 200 member organizations to influence local and state policy making. And it evolves into the inevitable, the toll these tumultuous times are taking on immigrant communities. We associate immigrants with New York City, which remains a constant, but there are over 1 million immigrants residing outside of the City, from Long Island to Westchester to Rochester and Buffalo. And their national origins are so diverse that no single group dominates. The NYIC vigorously protects their legal rights and economic opportunities in a virulently anti-immigrant federal environment. And the needs are growing because immigrants are on the frontlines of service in restaurants, hospitals, and grocery stores during the COVID19 pandemic. While they are losing jobs and even their lives, immigrants have been left out of congressional relief packages, a stunning omission that the NYIC is working to correct. Steve and the NYIC are building influence and power, from the ground up.
Anu Joshi, vice president of policy at the New York Immigration Coalition, talks about the latest immigration news, including President Trump's suspension of new work visas until the end of the year.
The US has tightened its borders to reduce the spread of COVID-19. But it's not raising a drawbridge, there are visas and green cards at play. What do those policies mean for immigrants? On Today's Show:Anu Joshi, vice president of policy at the New York Immigration Coalition, talks about the latest immigration news, including President Trump's suspension of new work visas until the end of the year.
The federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) elevated states’ responsibility to improve English language proficiency for English Learners (ELs), as well as their academic achievement. ESSA’s first stage of implementation required states to develop and submit their plans for executing the new law to the U.S. Department of Education. Highly technical, these state plans are usually difficult for parents and even educators to understand. The Migration Policy Institute’s (MPI) National Center on Immigrant Integration Policy, in partnership with state-based EL organizations and immigrant policy organizations, has endeavored to ensure that state ESSA plans create the optimal conditions for EL achievement. On this webinar MPI released the results of its comprehensive review of state ESSA plans for all 50 states and the District of Columbia, with a focus on EL policies. The compendium, The Patchy Landscape of State English Learner Policies under ESSA, reveals a picture of great variability across states’ approaches to ensuring accountability for the success of their EL students. MPI's Delia Pompa and Julie Sugarman were joined by Kim Sykes, Director of Education Policy at New York Immigration Coalition, in a discussion on how states have approached ESSA implementation, and areas where the law and state efforts to support ELs can be improved.
In a victory for immigrant advocates, a judge has dismissed a legal challenge to a new state law allowing undocumented immigrants to apply for driver’s licenses in New York.

Opponents of the effort to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census asked the Supreme Court not to rule against them before new allegations of a political motive can be reviewed. Lawyers for the New York Immigration Coalition claim to have recovered information from the files of a deceased Republican expert on redistricting that shows the Trump administration's motive was to reduce the voting power of Hispanics. Administration officials have testified that they sought the citizenship question, not for that reason but to protect minority voters under provisions of the Voting Rights Act. Dr. John C. Eastman, Professor of Law & constitutional law scholar at Chapman University School of Law, will join me to discuss the latest on the citizenship question. Later, “The Coolest, Most Politically Incorrect, Conservative Black Man on the Planet”, Rod Eccles will join me to continue the discussion on the citizenship question and the issue of reparations for descendants of slaves. Don't forget about the Edwards Notebook and the Veteran's Tip of the Day! All of this and more as time allows. Listen live, join the chatroom, be a part of the show. Tapp into the Truth

Last month, the Supreme Court heard arguments over whether to allow a question on the 2020 census that asks whether the person filling out the form is a US citizen. In this installment of TrumpWatch, Wennie Chin and Paul Westrick of the New York Immigration Coalition, one of the original plaintiffs in that case, discuss what the consequences of a citizenship question would look like.

(5/8/19) Late last month, the Supreme Court heard arguments over whether to allow a question on the 2020 census that asks whether the person filling out the form is a US citizen. As observed by the New York Times’s Adam Lipak and others, the five conservative Supreme Court justices appear to be leaning towards allowing the controversial move, reportedly the brainchild of Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross. In this installment of “TrumpWatch with Jesse Lent” on WBAI, Wennie Chin and Paul Westrick of the New York Immigration Coalition, one of the original plaintiffs in the case before the Supreme Court, talk about what a citizenship question would mean for the census and the country.

(1/30/19) The federal government is back open. But from the 15,000 migrant children being detained in the US according to a report last month in the Guardian to the Commerce Department effort to add a citizenship question to the Census to President Trump’s continued characterizations of a crisis on the southern border, immigration remains the dominant political issue of the day. While the President threatens a second government shutdown over wall funding, this week on “TrumpWatch with Jesse Lent” on WBAI we look at the way that some activists are battling proposed Trump administration policies in the courts with Anu Joshi, senior director of immigrant rights policy at the New York Immigration Coalition.
Camille Mackler, director of immigration legal policy at the New York Immigration Coalition, and Sarah Rogerson, professor of law and director of Albany Law School’s Immigration Law Clinic discuss bringing legal services to the more than 300 asylum-seeking refugees abruptly transferred to the Albany County jail in summer 2018 by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Sarah and Camille describe how the task was made possible by the volunteer network of lawyers, service providers, and bar associations that grew out of the January 2017 “travel ban” and Albany Law’s unique partnership with the Albany County jail. Miranda Warnings is hosted by past NYSBA President David Miranda.

Of all the people in the United States held behind bars, the fastest growing segment of the incarcerated population is immigrants. Some 400-thousand immigrants are detained every year. The immigrant detention system is a key element of the Obama administration's policy that has resulted in the deportation of record numbers of immigrants—those who are undocumented as well as many who are in the country legally. Recently Feet in Two Worlds held a forum at the New School in New York focused on immigrant detentions. In this podcast, you'll hear excerpts from remarks by the panelists: journalist Maria Hinojosa; journalist Valeria Fernandez; Jackie Vimo, director of advocacy for the New York Immigration Coalition; and Amy Gottlieb, director of the American Friends Service Committee Immigrant Rights program in Newark, New Jersey. The moderator was FI2W's John Rudolph.
