For centuries, immigrants have defined New York and kept our region vibrant, innovative, and economically resilient.
Today, with more than 120 million people forcibly displaced worldwide—the highest numbers in history—it’s crucial that philanthropy, nonprofits, and government work together to make our region a welcoming place for our newest neighbors.
How can policy reform, worker protections, and legal and educational resources for immigrant families strengthen our region and communities? Join local leaders in immigration advocacy and services and Trust staff for a conversation about how we can ensure the newest New Yorkers have the support they need to thrive.
A festive reception will follow, with food, drinks, and the opportunity to share your vision for our region’s next century.
