On June 30, the NYIC served as the leader for the New York action as part of a national Families Belong Together and Free day of action, convening an intersectional anchor committee consisting of union partners, NYCLU, NYIC member organizations and other allied groups. Together, we marched with an unprecedented 25,000 New Yorkers from Foley Square outside of the ICE offices across the Brooklyn Bridge to a rally at Cadman Plaza. The NYIC also led the public response in New York State when the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 in Trump vs. Hawaii on June 26, 2018, in favor of the second iteration of the Muslim ban a ban on travel from eight nations, six of which Muslim-majority while legal challenges proceed through the lower courts by holding an emergency press conference and rally in downtown New York City in partnership with MPower Change, the Womens March, the Arab American Association of New York, and others to denounce the ruling and to pledge support for individuals in need. Such partnership helped create a united front against this second attack from the federal administration. In response to the third iteration of the Muslim ban announced in September 2018, the NYIC coordinated with national partners to mobilize hundreds of New Yorkers to Washington, D.C. as part of the 5,000-strong #NoMuslimBanEver rally on the day the third iteration of the ban was set to go into effect. As challenges to the third iteration of the Muslim ban moved through the courts, we continued to run our No Ban JFK hotline to assist any immigrants or travelers impacted by or nervous about the ban. The NYIC also held town halls and community education forums that provided up-to-date information to roughly 700 Muslim New Yorkers to protect all immigrants and travelers. This third ban was blocked by the courts. 1624826 Engaging MembersAs a coalition, the NYIC not only engages member organizations in our advocacy efforts but also seeks to develop the leadership and capacity of our member organizations as well as members of the immigrant community enabling them to effectively organize, serve, and engage New Yorks underserved immigrant communities. This vision is focused on addressing critical issues facing immigrant-serving organizations through a strategic package of programming, including: AmeriCorps VISTAThe NYIC supports our member agencies by serving as a sponsor and intermediate host for VISTA volunteers from AmeriCorps, who are placed at our member agencies for a full calendar year. The NYIC trains and supports these full-time volunteers and their supervisors at the respective host sites, and the VISTA volunteers help member agencies build capacity in the three key areas of communications, fundraising, and volunteer management.Immigrant Leaders Council (ILC)Last year, the NYIC launched the ILC to foster the leadership development of representatives of the leading NYIC member organizations. The NYIC recruited 25 members to the ILC who met monthly for a series of roundtable discussions, trainings and technical assistance sessions focused around fundamental aspects of organizational management (including, but not limited to: effective meetings with elected officials, strategic planning, fundraising, volunteer management, and more). Members also receive one-on-one mentoring from leadership at the NYIC and access to key elected officials through the NYIC. The second year of the ILC launched in September 2018.Navigators & WE LeadThe NYIC was at the forefront of developing the nationally-recognized Immigration Navigator model, which has grown tremendously since its inception and which seeded the development of a corps of volunteers able to significantly ease the burden on legal service providers and ensure that the scarce time of immigration lawyers is used most effectively. A special Navigator cohort called Women Empowered to Lead, or WE Lead, is designed to build leadership among a small cadre of immigrant women, who will not only bring resources to their communities, but who can serve as mentors in their own right. Members have learned about the complexities of immigration law as well as how to host know-your-rights workshops, and receive leadership development trainings as well. 1516060 Policy Health care access has long been one of the NYICs priority areas: the Health program works to identify and break down barriers to care, reform practices and policies, and build the capacity of community groups to assist their immigrant constituents to navigate the healthcare system. Most recently, in 2018 for example, the NYIC closely monitored the progress of the federal administrations proposed changes to public charge rules, which would force families to choose between their health and wellness and someday adjusting their status or naturalizing. Throughout the year, we took significant steps to prepare for potential changes and developed strategic, New York-specific messaging for use during the public comment period, created community-facing education materials on possible rule changes to be distributed when the changes were posted, and created and convened an informal coalition on the public charge issue. After the proposed rule changes were posted on October 10, 2018, the NYIC organized meetings that generated a critical information-sharing space among local government and advocates, as well as the creation of a listserv and working groups on training providers, coordinating legal services provision, creating consistent community messaging, developing a public comment strategy for the public comment period that resulted in over 112,000 comments submitted, and longer-term thinking about ensuring access to health care services, food, and shelter for families. The NYIC was also the first organization in the city to create and broadly disseminate community information guides on public charge, available in seven languages on our website, which have been used as models across the country. Under education, we launched The First Step: Paving the Path for Immigrant Students campaign, which aims to help immigrant youth get placed in schools well positioned to meet their needs. Following engagement with NYC Department of Education officials, we won adoption of our key recommendation to provide training and support for enrollment offices, which are called Family Welcome Centers. We also completed the first year of our Linking Immigrant Families to Early Childhood Education (LIFE) Project. During the 2018 enrollment period, the LIFE project conducted outreach to over 20,000 people, and assisted 90 families complete pre-K and 3-K applications, of which 87 children were enrolled in programs. 5077053 true true false true false false false false false false true false false false true true true false false false false false false false true false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 23 0 true 42 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 24 18 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false NY X Sara Rakita 2126272227 131 W 33rd Street Suite 610 New York NY 10001 Guillermo Chacon Chair 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Patrick Young Co-Chair 1.00 0.00 X X 3000 0 0 Gonzalo Mercado Vice Chair 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Annetta Seecharran Vice Chair 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Elisie St Louis Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Kevin Douglas Vice-Chair 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Mohammad Razvi Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Hirschhorn Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Carola Otero Bracco Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Luz Tavares-Salazar Vice-Chair 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Bakary Tandia Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Carmen Maquilon Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Estela Vazquez Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 John Park Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Gail Golden Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Suzette Brooks Masters Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Cyrus Mehta Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Fatima Shama Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ping Moy Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Manuel Castro Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Megan Chambers Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Margo Paz Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mae Lee Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Muzaffar Chishti Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Steven Choi Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 156500 0 4279 Sara Rakita Exec.
