Proud Colors, Chicano Caucus, and Make the Road New York of Jackson Heights will be having an interactive workshop on queer immigration. We will be discussing immigration and LGBT movements and see how we can make a queer immigration movement that targets this usually ignored population, and we will learn why it is important that we don’t ignore the needs of queer immigrants in the United States.

It’s National Coming Out of the Shadows Week.
This is when undocumented young folks will publicly talk about their immigration status in an effort to increase awareness of the issues challenges facing people without papers.
