May 9: Rally and Hearings for Immigrant’s Voting Rights

On Thursday, May 9th, 2013 at 12PM, Immigration Advocates, Labor Organizations, Elected Officials and Immigrants will gather on the steps of City Hall to push for the passage of the Immigrant Voting Rights Bill, a New York City Local Law that would extend municipal voting rights to the hundreds of thousands of legally present, non-citizens living in New York City.

Over 1.3 million immigrants across New York State contribute $229 Billion in tax and economic revenue. Yet, they are not represented at any level of government. The passage of this bill would be a game changer for the Mayoral race as well as a plethora of other races across the city, as an entirely new voting block would immediately come into play.

There are currently 35 Council Members signed on to the bill, a veto-proof majority, and Speaker Christine Quinn has expressed interest in this issue. There will be a joint hearing directly following the rally at 1PM, with the Council Committees on Immigration and Governmental Operations listening to testimony on the impacts of this bill.

What: Rally for Immigrant’s Voting Rights and Hearing on Intro. 410: Immigrants Voting Rights Bill

Who: Immigrants, Immigrant Advocates, Labor Organizations, Elected Officials, Others

Where: Rally: City Hall Steps; Hearing: 14th Floor Hearing Room

When: Thursday, May 9th, 2013, 12PM Rally, 1PM Hearing
