We Protect Us!

A hub for up-to-date information and Know Your Rights resources, including our Deportation Defense Manual, in English and Spanish.

With the ongoing threat of mass deportations, immigrant communities and allies need to have updated information and easily accessible resources.

VICTORY! Tenants won’t be forced to burden broker fees

On November 13th, the New York City Council passed the FARE Act. This legislation requires whoever hires a broker, whether it is the landlord or the tenant, to pay for their fee.

We applaud the lead sponsor of the bill Council member Chi Ossé, Speaker Adrienne Adams, supporting City Council members, & allies fighting for working class NYC renters.

We Will Protect Our Futures

On November 9th, more than 5,000 New Yorkers shut down Sixth Avenue loudly proclaiming that we will protect our freedoms, our families, and our futures.

New Yorkers are ready to fight back against racist, misogynistic, anti-trans, and anti-immigrant policies.

It is now up to us to protect the people we love. Join our movement!

New video series: Meet Our Newest New Yorkers!

On Tuesday, August 6th,  we premiered a new video series looking at the first-hand experience of asylum seekers who have recently come to New York and are building new lives in the city.

The videos, which feature the stories of Juan, Raiza, and Jose Ramon, newly-arrived asylum seekers from Venezuela, show the human side of a story that all too often is told through the lens of politics or policy.

No matter when we got here, we all deserve the freedom to thrive.

A New Home of Strength & Dignity

Make the Road New York is building a permanent home in Queens, NY. This 3-story, 24,000 sq foot landmark community center will more than double our space for frontline services.

It will be a place of safety and strength that says: We are Here to Stay. Our new home will stand as a statewide beacon of hope and power for current and future generations.

Construction is currently underway and we will open our doors in 2024!
