Undocumented immigrants and their families are often vulnerable to illegal police tactics and citizenship scams. But there are basic rights and protections that all immigrants in New York State – regardless of their immigration status – have when interacting with ICE and applying for citizenship.
CUP teamed up with The New York Immigration Coalition (NYIC) and designer Luiza Dale to create Immigrants & NY, a fold-out poster in English, Spanish, and French. The illustrated poster guides immigrants in New York State on how to avoid immigration scams, protect their families when interacting with ICE, and create a plan for their family in the event of deportation.
Immigrants & NY launched at one of New York Immigration Coalition’s Key to the City events, a monthly fair they host around the city to help immigrants access resources. Thousands of copies of the guide are being distributed across New York City and State through their coalition members.
