“The Municipal Voting Rights Bill will restore the rights of immigrants to participate in local elections. Undoubtedly, New York City will be come a model for which other cities may follow in the fight to enfranchise immigrants who hold a green card or work authorization.
I am proud to know that the #OurCityOurVote campaign is supported by a wide range of institutions, organizations, and labor unions. I thank the Hotel Trades Council, 1199SEIU, United Here Local 100, Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union, and the New York State Nurses Association for their support.
Together we will make history and allow immigrants New Yorkers a chance to choose who represents them at the local level.”
