  • SOMOS CONFERENCE Saturday, March 9, 2019 Hon
    2019 ALBANY SOMOS CONFERENCE Saturday, March 9, 2019 Hon. Carl E. Heastie, Speaker Empire State Plaza Convention Center, Albany, New York Hon. Maritza Davila, Chair MORNING SESSIONS (10:00 AM – 11:45 AM) Equal Access to Driver’s Licenses for All New Yorkers Hearing Room A CO-MODERATORS: Assemblyman Marcos Crespo & Senator Luis Sepúlveda DESCRIPTION: There are 750,000 New Yorkers that are unable to obtain driver’s licenses because of their immigration status. In rural areas throughout the Empire state, public transportation is either infrequent, hard to access, or nonexistent. In these areas, driving becomes a privilege many people don’t think about – providing an avenue to commute to work, pick-up children from school, travel to doctor’s appointments, and fulfill many other essential tasks. If New York were to enact the Driver’s License Access and Privacy Act, it would join twelve states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico in providing access to licenses for undocumented immigrants. Join us for a panel to discuss the need for this legislation and the ongoing Green Light Campaign that brings together community members, leaders and activists with the shared goal of obtaining equal access to driver’s licenses for all New Yorkers. PANELISTS: Eric Gonzalez, District Attorney, Kings County; Emma Kreyche, Statewide Coordinator, Green Light NY Campaign, Worker Justice Center of New York; Nestor Marquez, Westchester Member, Make the Road New York Securing the Future of New York’s Dreamers Hearing Room B CO-MODERATORS: Assemblywoman Carmen De La Rosa & NYC Councilman Francisco Moya DESCRIPTION: In early 2019, the historic José Peralta New York State DREAM Act (S.1250 / A.782) passed through the state legislature.

  • Voting Rights in New York City: 1982–2006
    VOTING RIGHTS IN NEW YORK CITY: 1982–2006 JUAN CARTAGENA* I. INTRODUCTION TO THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT At the time of the 1982 amendments to the Voting Rights Act (VRA) and the continuation of Section 5 coverage to three counties in New York City, the city was at a major crossroads regarding faithful compliance with the mandates of the Act. Just one year earlier in the largest city in the United States, the largest municipal election apparatus in the country was brought to a screeching halt when the federal courts enjoined the Septem- ber mayoral primaries—two days before Election Day—because the city failed to obtain preclearance of new (and discriminatory) city council lines and election district changes.1 The cost of closing down the election was enormous, and a lesson was painfully learned: minority voters knew how to get back to court, the courts would not stand by idly in the face of obvious Section 5 noncompliance and business-as-usual politics would no longer be the same. Weeks later, the Department of Justice (DOJ) would not only of- ficially deny preclearance to the city council plan, but would find that its egregious disregard of the burgeoning African-American and Latino voting strength in the city had a discriminatory purpose and a discriminatory ef- fect.2 In this context, the 1982 extension of Section 5 to parts of New York City should not have seemed so anomalous to a country that continued to * General Counsel, Community Service Society.

    November 30, 2017 Members of the United States Senate U.S. Senate Washington, DC 20002 Members of the United States House of Representatives U.S. House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515 RE: Tax Cut and Jobs Act Dear Members of Congress, We, the undersigned small business owners, demand that you oppose the tax scam that is currently being consider by Congress. The plan will ultimately slash programs that are vital for small business owners like me. Cutting Medicare, Medicaid, education, and infrastructure will have a devastating impact on my community and my business. What small business owners like us need is for our communities to have affordable healthcare, well-funded schools, and well-maintained roads. The tax cuts and subsequent budget cuts do nothing to improve these things.
