EMERGENCY: The NYS budget goes to print in 24 hours & the Governor & legislature still have not included any money to continue one of their signature programs-the Liberty Defense Project, which gives immigrant NYers access to lawyers. 1000s risk losing lawyers halfway thru cases. 
Just 3 months ago @NYGovCuomo announced expansion of program: “While the federal government wages war on immigrant families seeking the American Dream, New York is standing by our commitment to protect people from all backgrounds and embrace our diversity.”governor.ny.gov/news/governor-…
Over 30k have received legal services through program since *just 2017.* $10 million is small price to protect immigrant NYers from the Administration’s xenophobic violence & live up to our ideals. Legal services are critical to protecting our communities.
