#ourny

The first two weeks: I am suffering through my annual three-week bronchitis extravaganza, but I still made it out to protest, and write postcards, and protest some more. I am also spending every day fighting my phone anxiety to make at least five calls.

#EllisIsland ✨🗽✨ Art by @kobrastreetart at @wearecityas in New York, NY. Established in 1972, #CityAsSchool is one of the first alternative schools in the U.S. focusing on providing opportunities for experiential learning. Today, it continues its mission of providing alternative educational opportunities for NYC youth. This mural by #eduardokobra which is part of NYC’s largest mural on the west wall of the school, features immigrants that passed through Ellis Island, the old gateway to America for many new residents. #OurNY #ImmiGreat || @legaleaseus is a boutique New York-based immigration and business law firm.

#ImmigrantBall ✨🌎✨ As the March 5th #DACA deadline imposed by Donald Trump approaches, #Dreamers and their families continue their anxious wait for Congress to take action. Meanwhile, #USCIS, the agency in charge of processing #greencard #naturalization and other #immigration applications, removed the language, "nation of immigrants" from its mission statement. In Queens the most ethnically-diverse urban area in the world, immigrant artist @katyagrokhovsky's DIY ball, part of @flux_factory's #FortCity, invites the audience to participate in choreographed debauchery. Led by first generation immigrants of diverse backgrounds, they misbehave, take over the territory, reversing the dominant cultural narrative in the process. #immigrantsmakeamericagreat #immigrantswelcome #immigreat #sanctuarycity #ourny #fluxfactory #katyagrokhovsky #lic #queens (at Flux Factory)
