> This past Wednesday night, State Senator Kevin Parker, Assembly Member Rodneyse Bichotte, Council Member Jumaane Williams, and I, co-hosted an immigration forum in Flatbush to let local residents know that their elected leaders stand with them. The forum provided them with vital information which will help them stay in our country, and eventually become tax paying citizens like you and me.

> The room was filled to capacity. When asked how many people felt afraid for themselves or their neighbors, 90% of the people in the room had their hands raised. When asked by Council Member Jumaane Williams, at the end of the event, "How many people here feel better informed?" every hand went up. Council Member Williams then asked, "How many people still feel scared?", all those hands from before were raised again.

> Friends, as citizens I ask you take a step on behalf of your neighbors. Use your voices, social media, and E-mails to let our neighbors know that they will not stand alone. Demand that our Democratic party members in the Senate stop playing politics as usual and get it together real quick to stand up against Trump and his Republican allies in Albany.
