About Hands Off NYC
Hands Off NYC brings together a broad coalition to protect against, preempt, and prepare for federal incursion in New York City. We do this through mass mobilization, neighborhood organizing, and building a culture of defiance.
About Unidos-MN Education Fund
Unidos-MN is a grassroots organization that builds power with Minnesota's working families to advance social, racial, and economic justice for all. Born from the strength of the DREAMER movement, we place immigration, education, and climate justice at the heart of our work. As an intersectional and intergenerational organization led by women and multiracial communities, we unite people from all backgrounds to fight for a future where everyone can thrive—no exceptions.
