Despite advice given to them from experts, Adam's administration continues their tactics. “We started seeing the narrative that this administration was selling, which was straight up divisive...trying to pit communities against each other,” Murad Awawdeh rollingstone.com/culture/cultur…

🚨 STATEMENT: Adams Administration Budget Keeps Asylum Seekers Out in the Cold "Immigrant New Yorkers deserve better and all working families deserve more than just the bare minimum from this administration." Murad Awawdeh 🔗: nyic.org/2024/01/adams-…

Weakening the right-to-shelter has a human toll. The administration's shelter limits are universally destabilizing, and the policy has disproportionately evicted African migrants. Grateful for advocates like Afrikana's Adama Bah for filling in the gaps. nysfocus.com/2024/02/15/eri…

[Thierno Sadou Barry] heard some families were being sent to tent shelters after they were evicted. “Can you imagine, with an 8-month-old baby?,” he said in French.

I’m honored to serve with Alexa Avilés & Mercedes Narcisse who had the vision to hold today’s important and unprecedented hearing on the specific & unique experiences of Black Migrants. Over 1,000 people showed up at City Hall, and what a beautiful sight it is to see!!

The NYPD has a drone in the air, for an unclear reason, as hundreds of African migrants line up outside City Hall for a council hearing on Black migrants.

Hundreds of African migrants outside city hall as hearing on their experiences takes place inside city hall.

Far too often, Black migrants are excluded from the conversation about the migrant experience in New York City. Sadly, today’s hearing offered a shocking glimpse into the lack of equity Black migrants receive in terms of resources and assistance. 🧵 (1/3)

Using her own experience as an immigrant in the United States, Adama Bah has created a safe space to welcome asylum seekers from Africa, while also advocating for housing rights for longtime New Yorkers. ✍️ @cestrommel documentedny.com/2024/04/29/ada…

Adama Bah (Adama Bah) is the founder of Afrikana, a center focused on supporting individuals from the African Diaspora and providing food pantries across NYC. She works tirelessly to advance equity and highlight the struggles and contributions of Black immigrants.

CORE’s mission is to foster racial equity for all marginalized communities in New York City, and we trust and thank our commissioners for dedicating themselves to that mission!

My office, in partnership with Afrikana, the Gambian Youth Organization, and Interfaith Center NY, is hosting an Eid Al-Adha hot meals distribution event in Harlem on Friday. We'll provide free halal meals and would be so grateful to see you.

You can watch the full program here to hear the beautiful music & powerful remarks from leaders like @ramitcha1, Audrey Sasson, Ruth Messinger, Murad Awawdeh, Adama Bah, @AlissaShira, Council Member Shahana Hanif, Carlyn Cowen (they/siya) & more: youtube.com/watch?v=b7OJ0J…
