Queens Immigration Task Force Directory of Services THE HONORABLE MELINDA KATZ QUEENS BOROUGH PRESIDENT with the QUEENS The Borough President’s Office of IMMIGRATION TASK FORCE Immigrant and Intercultural Affairs DIRECTORY OF SERVICES i Revised 2018 ii A Message from the Queens Borough President Dear Friends: Queens, the World’s Borough, is home to immigrants from every continent across the globe. Close to half of our population was born outside the United States. We trace our ancestries to 190 countries, and we speak close to 200 languages.1 Our immigrant neighbors contribute tremendously to the economic, social, cultural, and civic life of the borough. At the same time, they face unique challenges as they strive to create a better life for their families, especially for their children. In the current political climate, many of our immigrant communities are experiencing uncertainty, risk, and fear. I am proud to offer this Immigrant Services Directory as a resource for all those who work with our borough’s diverse immigrant communities and as a source of empowerment for the newcomers themselves. The directory features the members of my Queens Immigration Task Force, a network of reputable nonprofit organizations and government agencies committed to promoting immigrant integration in Queens and New York City. They coordinate a wide variety of programs and services, including ESL and civic classes, citizenship assistance and legal counsel, public benefit and health insurance enrollment, employment training and job placement, youth activities and senior centers, and immigrant civic engagement projects. In each entry, you will find contact information, types of programs and services available, and languages spoken. You can search the directory by organization name in the Table of Contents, and by language in the Index. I commend the members of my Queens Immigration Task Force, who serve and advocate for tens of thousands of immigrants each year. They provided valuable information to my staff and interns, which made this directory possible. I am grateful to my colleagues in public office for sending their legislative aides to my task force meetings, and to the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs for our long-standing, productive relationship. For more information on how my office addresses the needs of our borough’s diverse communities, please visit www.queensbp.org. You can also reach my Immigrant & Intercultural Affairs division by calling 718.286.2741. My staff and I appreciate your interest, and we look forward to hearing from you.

  • Chinatown and Urban Redevelopment: a Spatial Narrative of Race, Identity, and Urban Politics 1950 – 2000
    CHINATOWN AND URBAN REDEVELOPMENT: A SPATIAL NARRATIVE OF RACE, IDENTITY, AND URBAN POLITICS 1950 – 2000 BY CHUO LI DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Landscape Architecture in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2011 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor D. Fairchild Ruggles, Chair Professor Dianne Harris Associate Professor Martin Manalansan Associate Professor Faranak Miraftab Abstract The dissertation explores the intricate relations between landscape, race/ethnicity, and urban economy and politics in American Chinatowns. It focuses on the landscape changes and spatial struggles in the Chinatowns under the forces of urban redevelopment after WWII. As the world has entered into a global era in the second half of the twentieth century, the conditions of Chinatown have significantly changed due to the explosion of information and the blurring of racial and cultural boundaries. One major change has been the new agenda of urban land planning which increasingly prioritizes the rationality of capital accumulation. The different stages of urban redevelopment have in common the deliberate efforts to manipulate the land uses and spatial representations of Chinatown as part of the socio-cultural strategies of urban development. A central thread linking the dissertation’s chapters is the attempt to examine the contingent and often contradictory production and reproduction of socio-spatial forms in Chinatowns when the world is increasingly structured around the dynamics of economic and technological changes with the new forms of global and local activities. Late capitalism has dramatically altered city forms such that a new understanding of the role of ethnicity and race in the making of urban space is required.

  • 2020 Adopting a Robust Immigration Agenda: the Call for The
    DRAFT: NOT FOR CIRCULATION 1/29/21 2:00 PM _______ LAW REVIEW VOLUME ___ ____ 2020 NUMBER _____ Adopting a Robust Immigration Agenda: The Call for the Progressive Prosecutor to End the Deportation Pipeline Talia Peleg Abstract “Progressive prosecutors” seek to redefine the role of the prosecutor and question the purpose of the criminal legal system, ushering in the need to reexamine the scope and substance of their duties toward all, but particularly immigrant defendants, seeing as they suffer outsized punishment for most criminal offenses. Ten years ago, Padilla v. Kentucky broke ground in finally recognizing that defense counsel is constitutionally obligated to advise immigrants of the clear risks of deportation associated with a plea. Nevertheless, immigrants ensnared in the criminal legal system have since faced deportation at ever-increasing rates. Given the entwinement of immigration and criminal law, organizers and scholars have recognized that local prosecutors serve as gatekeepers to the federal criminal removal system. Yet, prosecutors around the country wildly differ in their treatment of immigrant defendants, at times ignoring or misusing this gatekeeping role. In the last decade, new prosecutorial goals—ensuring fairness and equity, promoting community integrity, tackling disproportionate treatment of Black and Brown communities in policing and incarceration, addressing root causes of crime—have gained increasing popularity, by some. Decriminalization and decarceration have been tools utilized to meet these goals. The specific goals strived for by so-called “progressive prosecutors” require an examination of their treatment of migrants and application of an immigrant’s rights lens to their current practices. Their policies toward immigrant defendants to date have been tepid and at times, harmful.

  • In the News – State Governor Breaks Ground on New Belmont Park Arena
    This Week In New York/Page 1 This Week in New York Covering New York State and City Government A Publication of Pitta Bishop & Del Giorno LLC September 27, 2019 Edition Shanah Tovah from Pitta Bishop & Del Giorno LLC In the News – State Governor Breaks Ground on New Belmont Park Arena Governor Andrew Cuomo joined the New York Islanders, National Hockey League Commissioner Gary Bettman, local leaders and hockey fans to break ground on the New York Islanders' new arena at Belmont Park, the centerpiece of the $1.3 billion Belmont Park Redevelopment. In addition, Governor Cuomo announced the team has agreed to play 28 regular season games at the Nassau Veteran's Memorial Coliseum during the 2019-2020 season, seven more than previously planned. {00665744.DOCX / }Pitta Bishop & Del Giorno LLC, 111 Washington Avenue, Albany, New York. (518) 449-3320 Theresa Cosgrove, editor, [email protected] This Week In New York/Page 2 "The Islanders belong on Long Island — and today we start building the state-of-the-art home this team and their fans deserve while generating thousands of jobs and billions in economic activity for the region's economy," Governor Cuomo said. "With seven more Islanders games at the Coliseum this season, fans will have even more opportunities to see their favorite team and generate momentum for the move to their new home in two years. At the end of the day this project is about building on two great Long Island traditions - Belmont Park and the Islanders - and making them greater than ever." Announced in December 2017, the Belmont Redevelopment Project will turn 43 acres of underutilized parking lots at Belmont Park into a premier sports and hospitality destination, including a new 19,000-seat arena for the New York Islanders hockey team and other events, a 250-key hotel, a retail village and office and community space.

  • Dysfunction in the Electoral Process
    The New York City Board of Elections (BOE) is charged with administering elections in New York City: it maintains the voter rolls, oversees candidate petitioning, and runs Election Day operations. Recent elections and investigations by independent bodies indicate that the BOE fails to carry out these functions competently and impartially, resulting in dysfunction in our democratic process. This dysfunction manifests itself through disenfranchisement - either directly through voter purges and ballot disqualifications or indirectly through engendering a lack of faith in our election process. This lack of faith in the process has led New York to be among the worst states in terms of voter turnout.1 The root cause of this dysfunction is the BOE’s inherently political nature. Ultimately, this ​ politicization must be addressed through amendment to the New York State Constitution, but County parties have the power to make incremental reforms. In this document, New Kings Democrats will explain more about the BOE’s politicization and dysfunction, as well as potential paths for its reform. Dysfunction in the electoral process The BOE is responsible for: ● Overseeing voter registration, outreach, and processing; ● Maintaining and updating voter records ● Recruiting, training, and assigning Election Day officers to conduct elections; ● Operating poll site locations; ● Maintaining, repairing, setting up, and deploying Election Day operation equipment; and ● Assuring each voter’s right to vote at the polls or by absentee ballot.2 1 https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2018/feb/01/andrea-stewart-cousins/new-york-consistently-ranks-lo w-voter-turnout/ 2 https://vote.nyc/page/about-nyc-board-elections Over the past 20 years, audits by the New York City Comptroller’s Office, the New York City Department of Investigation (DOI), and non-governmental organizations and advocacy groups have raised questions about the BOE’s competency in carrying out these functions.
