On January 25, FPWA CEO and
Executive Director Jennifer Jones Austin released the following
statement in response to President Donald Trump’s executive orders on
immigration:
“The President’s
anti-immigration Executive Orders signed today threaten not just the
well-being of immigrant children and families, but all New Yorkers. As a
city and state that has long been a safe haven
for all people seeking asylum and a better life, we at FPWA stand with
Mayor de Blasio and Governor Cuomo, and will work to ensure that our
communities remain strong in the face of policies aimed at undoing the
foundation on which our country was built.”
FPWA is an
anti-poverty, policy, and advocacy non-profit with a membership network
of nearly 200 human-service and faith-based organizations. Each year,
through its network of member agencies, FPWA reaches
close to 1.5 million New Yorkers of all ages, ethnicities, and
denominations.
FPWA strives to build a city of equal opportunity that
reduces poverty, promotes upward mobility, and creates shared prosperity
for all New Yorkers. Log on to www.fpwa.org for more information.
