🎉Thank you to @spj_tweets for recognizing our newsroom's efforts to help Latino immigrants navigate the pandemic. We're nominated for two 2021 @deadlineclub awards! Congrats to the team: @KevinTDugan @nicorios @RebekahFWard @Jose_Pagliery @AlissaEscarce and @LatinoUSA!
1/ We teamed up with @univisionNY to correct misinformation spreading through immigrant communities. In Spanish, we fact checked claims of miracle cures and untrue promises of pandemic aid coming from big companies and government.

2/ We worked with our readers to investigate the underutilized Immigrant Emergency Relief Program, which promised $1,000 per family. We discovered that the NYC fund was improperly regulated and closed to many undocumented residents.

3/ We uncovered how hard-working immigrants who lost their jobs due to the pandemic were being harassed or forced out of their rental homes — even though the state had a moratorium on evictions.

4/ @deadlineclub nominated our immigrant resource guide for a Best in Newspaper or Digital Local News Reporting award. This is where to find the latest info about financial relief, legal representation and more.

6/ Our year-long investigation into Trump's impact on NY's immigration courts is nominated for Best Radio/Audio Investigative Reporting. 🎉 Thanks to collaborators @NPR/@LatinoUSA for sharing what we learned from one family's reunification nightmare.
7/ We supervised over 200 immigration court hearings and faced ample pushback from ICE attorneys. Our journalists documented how NY immigration courts were failing and were further hobbled by Trump policies. ⬇️ Read more from @mazsidahmed & @MaxSiegelbaum.

So, Gov. Cuomo listened to the undocumented workers calling for emergency relief aid. But, he hasn't learned from past mistakes, activists say.

Here's what's wrong. 🧵 THREAD
documentedny.com/2021/04/02/cuo…
Cuomo wants to distribute the proposed #ExcludedWorkerFund based on what proof-of-employment documentation a worker could provide.

Undocumented people having to provide pay stubs or bank statements to access emergency cash? What could go wrong?

We've seen this before.

When NY announced rental relief aid, tenant organizers saw red flags. The financial requirements were too stringent and the required paperwork too burdensome — and undocumented renters would almost certainly be left behind.

Hi! I'll be livetweeting our #DocumentedTalks panel about immigrant labor organizing in the pandemic. @AmirKhafagy91 will be interviewing
Yolanda Zhang with @AintIAWomanNY & @FlushingWorkers, Rosanna Aran with @LWC_workers and Nelson Mar with 318 Restaurant Workers Union. ⬇️
.@AmirKhafagy91 says that as a journalist, labor has been the most underreported aspect of the pandemic.

"People talk about returning to the new normal. But these workers are saying that we're going to dictate what the new normal is going to look like."
"The workers are essential and the struggle is essential." -- @AmirKhafagy91. Catch up with his labor coverage here. ⬇️documentedny.com/author/amirkha…

Immigrant workers are facing increased exploitation during the pandemic. In NYC, they're fighting back. Here's what we've seen happen in 2021 when workers come together. 🧵THREAD

Food vendors and delivery workers are on hunger strike to demand that New York #FundExcludedWorkers who have been left out of public COVID-19 relief packages.

documentedny.com/2021/03/17/foo…
These women have been fasting for nearly two weeks to put pressure on New York to pass a $3.5B fund that would provide emergency aid to undocumented workers.

They'll find out if their voices have been heard when the state budget is settled on April 1.
