RALLY TO FUND $15M FOR LGBTQIA+ IMMIGRANT LEGAL SERVICES NOW!
LGBTQIA+ Immigrants need access to legal services quickly that affirm their identities.
The time is now, our neighbors cannot wait until next year. The Caribbean Equality Project with NYCTransQueerCoalition and NYC Council LGBTQIA+ Caucus are advocating for $15M in the FY27 Budget. We are requesting the funds to be split :
$7.5M to a new City Council Speaker Initiative to fund non-profits providing legal services to the community
&
$7.5M to the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs to expand and enhance services specifically for LGBTQIA+ Immigrants.
