Thriving Together National Convening

Last week, we hosted our Thriving Together Convening, in collaboration with Local Progress, Make the Road NY, the Initiative for Community Power at NYU Law, and the Immigration Justice Clinic at Cardozo Law. We spent time with about 40 participants, including local elected and administrative officials, immigration attorneys, organizers, funders and policy experts, and we are excited to be delving deeply into organizing approaches that can improve conditions and policies for the many recent arrivals in New York City and receiving cities around the country. We are committed to finding ways of collaborating on our work to turn the mislabeled “crisis” of migration into an opportunity to respond to the needs of our communities in new ways.
