CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO IMMIGRANT RIGHTS COMMISSION Edwin M. Lee, Mayor Naomi Kelly, City Administrator Commissioners: April 1, 2013 Bill Ong Hing, Chair Celine Kennelly, Vice Chair Since 1997, the San Francisco Immigrant Rights Commission (IRC) has been Teresa Chee a champion for the inclusion and integration of San Francisco’s immigrant Kathleen Coll residents and workers. From upholding sanctuary city ordinances to Elahe Enssani language rights and immigration reform, the IRC has fought for fair and Felix Fuentes humane policies at the local, state and federal levels. Haregu Gaime Vera Haile In 2009, the IRC held a series of hearings, meetings, and a summit on Florence Kong Comprehensive Immigration Reform, Effects of Federal Immigration Melba Maldonado Enforcement Policies on local communities, and San Francisco’s role in Sonya Molodetskaya helping to shape national policy. Over three years later, the national debate Toye Moses on reform has escalated, while millions of immigrants continue to live in limbo, Sam Ng Mario Paz unsure of their status and unable to move forward to a new future. In February 2013, the IRC held a special session on immigration reform to hear testimony from community advocates and individuals affected by Executive Director: proposed policies. The IRC then developed a series of updated Adrienne Pon recommendations and held a policy discussion in March 2013 with local, state and national experts and advocates. This report includes the voices of San Francisco’s diverse immigrant communities The IRC applauds the courage of everyday San Franciscans and community advocates who have come forward to provide testimony, recommendations and solutions to this nation’s immigration puzzle. The IRC commends the Mayor, Board of Supervisors, District Attorney and city officials for their leadership and commitment to a more fair, inclusive and just America. Finally, the IRC thanks the Office of Civic Engagement & Immigrant Affairs, under the leadership of Executive Director Adrienne Pon, for its invaluable assistance with this report and its partnership in improving the lives of all San Francisco residents, including immigrants and vulnerable communities. Bill Ong Hing, Chair Celine Kennelly, Vice Chair A CITY AND NATION OF IMMIGRANTS: 2013 Recommendations on Comprehensive Immigration Reform San Francisco Immigrant Rights Commission April 2013 A WORD ABOUT THIS REPORT As this report was being prepared for printing, legislation crafted by a bipartisan Senate Committee referred to as the “Gang of Eight” 1 was introduced in the U.S. Senate. S. 744: the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act currently under consideration by the Senate Judiciary Committee, proposes a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, a streamlined path for DREAMers and certain groups of long-term residents, the clearing of family backlogs, higher priority for children and spouses of lawful permanent residents, STEM visas, some due process protections for deportees with mental problems, and the elimination of the one-year filing deadline for asylum applicants. The San Francisco Immigrant Rights Commission welcomes and appreciates efforts to reform an antiquated and ineffective immigration system but is concerned that S.744 does not go far enough to reflect the core values of this great nation. The IRC is particularly concerned about the implications of shifting priorities from keeping families together to an unprecedented expansion of border enforcement, as well as the threats to the safety, economic well-being and civil liberties of all workers, both immigrant and non, from the E-Verify program. S. 744 excludes same-sex, binational couples and families; eliminates sibling, older married sons and daughters and diversity categories; lacks provisions for fair hearings for deportable immigrants who are rehabilitated; and includes requirements that create insurmountable and costly barriers for aspiring immigrants, rather than pathways to citizenship and legal residency. The IRC believes that broad, progressive immigration reform is necessary and beneficial to this nation. As noted in its 2009 report, the IRC recognizes that fixing a broken system is difficult, given the complexity and ambiguity of U.S. immigration laws and policies that were designed to exclude, not include, certain individuals. A 200+ year history of discriminatory immigration law on the basis of national origin, race, class, gender, and sexuality cannot be corrected with piecemeal legislation. It is the IRC’s hope that the Senate Judiciary Committee enacts legislation that embraces America’s diversity and core values ─ legislation that is fair, humane, inclusive and non- discriminatory; focuses on the inclusion, integration and success of immigrants; supports family unity; includes a broad and clear pathway to legal residency and citizenship; prevents violence and the unnecessary loss of life; and contains safeguards for basic human rights and dignity. This is an opportunity to design fair and equitable laws and policies that embrace what is best about America—the dynamism, creativity and innovation that come from a rich heritage of diverse people and perspectives. 1 Members of the bipartisan “Gang of Eight” Senate Committee include: Senators Michael Bennet (D-CO), Dick Durbin (D-IL), Jeff Flake (R-AZ), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), John McCain (R-AZ), Bob Menendez (D-NJ), Marco Rubio (R-FL), and Chuck Schumer (D- NY).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY We are so proud of everybody here. In each of you, we see the true spirit of America. And we see a bit of ourselves, too, because most of our stories trace back to moments just like this one. To an ancestor who — just like the men and women here today — raised their right hand and recited that sacred oath. And the point is that unless you are one of the first Americans, unless you are a Native American, you came from someplace else. That’s why we’ve always defined ourselves as a nation of immigrants. And we’ve always been better off for it. The promise we see in those who come from all over the world is one of our greatest strengths. It’s kept our workforce young. It keeps our businesses on the cutting edge. It’s helped to build the greatest economic engine that the world has ever known. —President Barack Obama at a March 25, 2013 White House naturalization ceremony for active duty service members and civilians .2 The United States is a nation of immigrants with a proud history of welcoming and including newcomers. Major cities like San Francisco owe their rich cultural diversity and economic leadership to the contributions of immigrants. But since its inception, this nation has also struggled with issues of controlling immigration, embracing some groups of newcomers while vilifying others. A long history of anti-immigrant sentiment has triggered hostility, hatred, and at times violence due to national, cultural, linguistic and religious differences, and perceived threats to the economy, national security or the “American culture.” Immigrants long have been blamed for everything from overpopulation to causing the poor economy, taking jobs away from Americans and draining the welfare system. Immigrants have been accused of being disloyal, refusing to learn English, and failing to adopt the American culture. Immigrants from Germany, Ireland, Asia, Mexico, the Middle East, and other parts of the world all have been targets of American nativism, racism and bias. Post-9/11 efforts to fight global terrorism and ensure a safe America have had a drastic effect on how immigrants have been recently viewed in the United States, with increased cases of hate crimes, harassment, racial profiling, and discrimination over the past 12 years. 3 There are an estimated 11 million immigrants currently living or working in the United States without legal status. 4 Most arrived seeking the same things as generations of immigrants before them: freedom, economic opportunity, safety, a better life, and a peaceful future for their children and families. However, a federal immigration system focused on enforcement, rather 2 Retrieved from http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2013/03/25/president-obama-new-citizens-each-you-we-see-true-spirit-america 3 The Pluralism Project, Harvard University, Post 9/11 Hate Crime Trends: Muslims, Sikhs, Hindus and Jews in the U.S. (2005), and U.S. Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division.

  • Establish Municipal ID
    JULY 2015 BUILDING IDENTITY A Toolkit for Designing and Implementing a Successful Municipal ID Program Acknowledgements This toolkit reflects the deep knowledge and expertise of dozens of advocates and community members who have been personally involved in starting municipal ID card programs in their own cities. CPD is especially grateful to the members of the IDNYC coalition, whose work formed the basis for much of this report. In particular, Make the Road New York, the Immigrant Defense Project, the New Economy Project, New York Legal Assistance Group, the New York Civil Liberties Union, and Picture the Homeless provided invaluable support. CPD would also like to thank SEIU 32BJ for sharing insights and feedback. Finally, this toolkit would not have been possible without Olena Savytska and Julina Guo, who conducted significant research for this project and assisted with early drafting for several sections. ABOUT THE CENTER FOR POPULAR DEMOCRACY The Center for Popular Democracy (CPD) works to create equity, opportunity and a dynamic democracy in partnership with high-impact base-building organizations, organizing alliances, and progressive unions. CPD strengthens our collective capacity to envision and win an innovative pro-worker, pro-immigrant, racial and economic justice agenda. Cover photo: In the summer of 2012, in a tribute to the Freedom Rides of the civil rights movement, dozens of undocumented youth rode the “undocubus” through some of the most anti-immigrant states in the southern U.S. in protest of mass deportation and family separation. Throughout the tour they engaged in direct action, including civil disobedience, to bring attention to the situation of immigrant communities living in this country without documentation.

  • In Defense of the Eligible Undocumented New Yorker's State Constitutional Right to Public Benefits
    IN DEFENSE OF THE ELIGIBLE UNDOCUMENTED NEW YORKER'S STATE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO PUBLIC BENEFITS STEVEN SACCO ABSTRACT Under current New York State law, undocumented New Yorkers, (those residing in the U.S. without the federal government's permission), are ineligible for most state-funded means-tested public benefits, such as Medicaid and Safety Net Assistance. Articles XVII and I of the New York State Constitution nonetheless create a state mandate to provide for the eligible "needy" and ensure equal protection under the law, respectively. This article proposes that, under these state constitutional provisions, financially eligible undocumented residents of New York State possess an affirmative right to receive state-funded public benefits. Policy arguments against this entitlement are unfounded and barriers to enforcement of the right of undocumented New Yorkers to access state benefits are born of politics, not of the law. I.

  • New Brunswick Community Food Assessment
    New Brunswick Community Food Assessment Working Together for a Food Secure New Brunswick Editors Kathe Newman Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy Ralph W. Voorhees Center for Civic Engagement Cara Cuite Department of Human Ecology, Rutgers Cooperative Extension Erin Royals Doctoral student, Geography Department Rutgers University September 2017 Preface Mark Winne, Senior Advisor at the Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future Imagine walking into a poorly lit and cluttered attic. You’re trying to find some boxes you carefully set aside over the past several years filled with kitchen utensils and plates that you now want to give to a relative. But your memory deceives you as you trip over accumulated containers and used pieces of furniture. Much to your consternation, that neat and tidy space you thought you knew so well grows murky and impenetrable. You discover things you forgot you had and fail to find the things you want. But rather than stomp out in frustration, you resolve to install brighter lights, make a proper inventory and diagram, and enlist your family members in a coordinated reordering of what has become a confusing and inefficient space. Food systems are much like cluttered attics. Just when we thought we knew who has enough good food and who doesn’t, new information emerges that alters our understanding of hunger and healthy eating. When we thought we had an accurate idea of the places where people get food, grow food, and learn about food, a new food pantry or farmers market opens, somewhere else a supermarket closes, or a new federal or state food program begins.

Cover and interior design by Dave Williams ExEcutIvE SummaRy Local police and sheriffs’ departments increasingly are being drawn into a national debate about how to enforce federal immigration laws. In many jurisdictions, local police are being pressured to take significantly larger roles in what has traditionally been a fed- eral government responsibility. This is not a simple matter for local police. Active involvement in immigration enforcement can complicate local law enforcement agencies’ efforts to fulfill their primary missions of investigating and preventing crime.
