✨️🥺✨️it was a great experience to be a part of this

thank you Kevin Harrilall for supporting our curriculum development on race and diversity in immigrant spaces. thank you for supporting us in expanding our knowledge.

✨️Book talk Event 1 at Baruch College ✨️ This book talk was so insightful and important. Dr. Felecia, Russell, EdD Russell wrote "Amplifying Black Undocumented Student Voices In Higher Education" 📖 as a call to action for all of us doing immigrant justice work. The call is to center and amplify Black Undocumented students and narratives. Because Black migrants face disproportionate rates of state violence, because Black migrant students are invisible in spaces for migrants and in spaces for Black people, because the consequences of this invisibility can be life threatening and take a toll on someone's mental health. Friday April 26 will be the next book talk at CUNY Hostos Community College Please sign up if you wish to attend! bit.ly/ny_book Thanks to all the sponsors and collaborators.

Looking forward to joining Brooklyn Org on this important discussion.

Would you help us find a values driven, passionate, determined Board Chair? Helps us restructure our board and lead the Board Team into a new future. ✨

We want to take a chance to invite you and members to two upcoming events we are hosting in partnership with CUNY Undocumented and Immigrant Student Programs, CUNY Black Male Initiative, Hostos Community College, and Baruch College. “Amplifying Black Undocumented Student Voices in Higher Education” featuring book author Dr. Felecia Russell. The events will focus on Career Aspirations and paths for undocumented students including pathways like Independent Contracting and Authorship as viable career paths for undocumented students. She is ultimately focusing on centering the intersectional experiences of Black immigrant community members. Through grounded research on career aspirations and a student-led dialogue, Dr. Russell will discuss information covered in her book and her own experiences. This will be a two-part event: Wednesday, April 24, 5 PM to 6:30 PM Baruch College 55 Lexington Ave, New York, NY 10010 & Friday, April 26, 4:30 PM to 6 PM Hostos Community College 500 Grand Concourse, Bronx, NY 10451 Food and refreshments will be served.

Our Co-Executive Director Angy Rivera joined the 2024 Success Convening this past weekend (hosted by TheDream.US , Presidents' Alliance on Higher Education and Immigration , Immigrants Rising and Rice University ) to share about our work with entrepreneurship and undocumented immigrant youth.

thank you new york collective of radical educators for having us today and imagining together better schools for immigrant students

After losing our space in 2020, we are still dealing with the impact of the pandemic. We need to find a new space. Not just because our rent will increase by more than $500, but also because we've outgrown our current office. We need to meet frequently with at least 30 leaders, which our current office doesn't allow. We are always scrambling for space. Can you help us raise $24,000 by June 30 to help YLC secure a new space for a year? 🔗donate here https://lnkd.in/ejhpVzxF If you have leads on space, let us know.
