PROBLEM
Undocumented workers are unaware of their rights and benefits on the job even though they’ve been in New York City for a long time. Between 2008 and 2017, the undocumented population fell by 167,000, or 25%, from 674,000 to 507,000, according to the New York City government’s website.
SOLUTION
Our solution is to raise awareness that undocumented and legal immigrants who work for the city and do dirty work need protection and legal rights. We also have an advertising campaign on how to protect undocumented workers, available online and in magazines.
