I Am An Immigrant: New York City Pop-up!
Event Information
Description
Celebrate our shared immigrant experiences during Immigrant Heritage Month in June with the first Pop-Up event in the country, right here in New York!
At this Pop-Up, we are asking everyone to take concrete action in support of immigrants in New York, share stories of the crucial ways that diverse communities enrich our society, and join a growing coalition across the country to loudly proclaim that #IStandWithImmigrants.
Join local organizations and artists in different programs for allies and the immigrant community, including Know Your Rights Training, Arts & Crafts, and a Panel with a celebrity.
