LA Fuente A Tri-State Worker & Community Fund Inc

The New York Civic Participation Project (NYCPP) collaborates with unions, advocacy and community organizations supporting worker justice and civic empowerment for new immigrants across the City. We organize in neighborhoods to bring together grassroots union members, community activists, congregations and immigrant associations, building bridges across national, racial and ethnic lines. We develop and support campaigns to promote the human rights and dignity of new immigrants in our society, ranging from health care to public safety, from drivers' licenses to fair pay and working conditions, from immigration law reform to voter participation. We help new immigrant leaders establish their own voices and expand civic dialogue, promoting the vision and reality of our City as a 'golden door' for equal opportunity and social justice.
We promote immigrant and worker rights through:

-Organizing union members and community residents in immigrant neighborhoods in New York City to identify problems and carry out campaigns to win social change in their communities.

-Leadership Development of new immigrant leaders so they can be more effective and active in their unions and communities.

-Policy work that brings together labor unions, advocates and other allies to support and educate the public around pro-immigrant/pro-worker policies at the city, state and federal levels.

-Civic Participation is at the heart of NYCPP's mission. Our belief is that enabling immigrants to participate fully in civic life strengthens working people generally and contributes to improving conditions for all.
