FRIDAY 09/18: Join Senator Rivera and the Hands Off NYC Coalition at Their 'Know Your Rights' Community Day of Action in His District!


GOVERNMENT HEADER

Dear Neighbor, 


Happy Third Day of School! In addition to the many backpack and school supply giveaways that we held last month, my office is also conducting Know Your Rights outreach to ensure our educators, school administrators and staff, as well as our families and students, are informed about their constitutional rights regardless of their immigration status. 


Join me on Friday, September 18th during the Hands Off NYC Community Weekend when my team and I are hosting a Day of Action at the Bronx Library Center.


We will conduct short, easy-to-follow training sessions to teach you how to talk to your community about their rights, distribute materials to schools, and inform our neighbors of the resources available to them.

RSVP HERE

If you are unable to join, I invite you to fill out our Community Volunteer Interest Form to join similar opportunities in the future. 


Thank you for your help in keeping our children and families safe. Please feel free to share these resources widely with your networks, neighbors, and loved ones.


Sincerely, 


Gustavo Rivera 

New York State Senate

33rd District
