The 2022 midterm elections proved to be pivotal for New York politics.

Leading up to the midterm elections, New York found itself at the forefront of national politics, with control of the House hinging on several highly competitive congressional races. While some Democrats were unable to overcome strong opposition from right-wing MAGA Republicans, they are expected to hold a supermajority in the State Senate and State Assembly.

NYIC Action was able to help secure notable electoral wins across New York– but our work doesn’t stop. Despite electing Democrats into office, many immigrant New Yorkers continue to endure obstacles across the state, including in New York City.

We need elected officials committed to building a more equitable and accessible city so that every immigrant New Yorker can live with dignity.

We offer a vision for immigrant justice in New York City, with five issue areas that are critical to our immigrant communities:

• Building Political Power and Guaranteed Civil Rights

• Ending State Support for Detention, Deportation and Mass Incarceration

• Ensuring Economic Justice and Good Jobs

• Quality Education

• Creating Healthy Communities

In order to be considered for our official endorsement process, candidates for local office must agree to champion our vision and adopt it as part of their campaign’s policy platform.
