Northern Manhattan Coalition for Immigrant Rights (NMCIR) works with over 6,000 families a year on issues such as immigration, citizenship, deportation and voter participation focusing on keeping families together, facilitating integration and building community power.
The Coalition Educates, Organizes and Defends the Immigrant Community.
On Thursday, April 30th, 2009, NMCIR released a report entitled "Deportado, Dominicano, y Humano: The Realities of Dominican Deportations and Related Policy Recommendations" (downloadable PDF) in order to bring to light the experience of one of the largest immigrant rights groups in New York and the North East - Dominicans. This report compiles the socio-political realities of deportatin and provides policy recommendations to the governments of the United States, New York, and the Dominican Republic on how to alleviate the destruction deportation has caused in our community. This report was produced in collaboration with the New York University School of Law Immigrant Rights Clinic and received media coverage from El Diario, NY1, and Telemundo.
