About Safe Passage Project Safe Passage Project provides free lawyers to child refugees who are being deported. To date, we have supported 950 children in NYC. Many children embark alone on the long and dangerous journey to the United States seeking protection. They are fleeing trauma such as gang violence and recruitment, abuse, and sexual assault. In 2017, the government reported that they apprehended over 40,000 immigrant children seeking entry to the United States. Closer to home, the New York Immigration Court has more than 15,000 cases involving children on its docket. Immigrant children are not afforded free legal representation by the government, regardless of their age.

To many, this means returning to the danger from which they fled. This is where Safe Passage Project steps in, providing free legal assistance to these refugee and immigrant children in New York City and Long Island who are facing removal despite their strong legal claim to stay in the…

Summary: The Riders Alliance is New York’s premier grassroots organization of subway and bus riders fighting for better public transit and a more just and inclusive city. Great public transportation is a source of economic mobility and social justice – key to building an equitable and sustainable city. When public transit works, it makes New York a global center of economic opportunity where everyone has the chance to find work, go to school, and participate in the life of the community. When public transit doesn’t work, the whole region is affected, with disproportionate impacts on low-income neighborhoods and communities of color. Vulnerable New Yorkers who arrive late to work may lose pay or, worse, steady employment; whole neighborhoods are “transit deserts” with poor connections to the rest of the city; many working people struggle to choose between paying their fare and other necessities. The Riders Alliance is a high-profile, scrappy, grassroots advocacy organization that has been fighting for better public transit in New York by organizing everyday transit riders into a diverse, powerful political constituency. By building lasting power among transit riders for the last seven years, the organization has helped New Yorkers to hold their elected leaders accountable for…

ABOUT INNOCENCE PROJECT The Innocence Project is a national litigation and public policy organization that restores justice and freedom to people convicted of crimes they didn’t commit. Founded in 1992 as a legal clinic at Cardozo School of Law by civil rights lawyers Peter Neufeld and Barry Scheck, the Innocence Project, now an independent non-profit affiliated with Cardozo, was the first organization to systematically apply DNA testing to reveal innocence in cases of wrongful conviction. To date, the Innocence Project has helped to exonerate over 200 people. Overall, more than 360 people in the United States have been exonerated through DNA testing. Cumulatively, they served more than 5,000 years of wrongful imprisonment. The exoneration cases have exposed the widespread failures in the criminal justice system. The Innocence Project promotes science-based solutions to address the factors that most frequently contribute to wrongful convictions: eyewitness misidentifications, misapplication of forensic science, false confessions, government misconduct, and incentivized witnesses. We also work to reform the system’s profound systematic failures — overreliance on guilty pleas, the lack of accountability for prosecutors, and inadequate public defense systems, and racial bias — through education, advocacy, and litigation. Nationally, the Innocence Project has worked with people who have…
