NY, Let's End Immigration Detention!

You’re invited to a community event with the Dignity Not Detention Campaign on Thursday June 22nd from 6 - 8 p.m. EDT! You’ll hear from organizers and people directly impacted by immigrant detention about the realities of ICE detention in New York and the shortcomings of the state’s response to people seeking asylum. Our conversation will invite folks to take action in support of the Dignity Not Detention Act, which has the power to end immigrant detention in New York!  

The event will include a performance of “Do Not Let Anyone Know I am a Prince,” a poignant exploration of the harrowing realities of U.S. immigrant detention. This 15-minute play by Edafe Okporo will be performed by Gbenga Akinnagbe (The Wire, Broadway’s To Kill a Mockingbird), directed by Raz Golden, and produced by Waterwell.  

Food will be served, and COVID precautions are in effect (see below for more details).
