Join Critical Resistance NYC and our partner organizations with the Dignity Not Detention Campaign for a special community event this Thursday, June 22 from 6-8pm!

NY Will End Immigrant Detention: Find out how! 

At this event, you’ll hear from organizers and people directly impacted by immigration 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 immigration 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. immigration detention.  This 15 minute play by Edafe Okporo is performed by Gbenga Akinnagbe (The Wire, Broadway’s To Kill a Mockingbird), directed by Raz Golden, and produced by Waterwell.  Assemblymember Karines Reyes, sponsor of the Dignity Not Detention Act, will also be in attendance.

Food will be served and covid precautions are in effect (see sign up form for more details).

Date: June 22, 2023 from 6-8pm

Location: Bronx Music Heritage Center, 1303 Louis Niñé Boulevard, Bronx, NY 10459
