SUPPORTERS

Isma H. Chaudhry - President of the Islamic Center of Long Island

"Long Island Wins brings the value of recognition and credit to the contributions of 11 million undocumented immigrants and the adversities and discrimination they endure because of lack of grounded immigration policies in the US. Long Island Wins is a unique organization that provides advocacy to social and political complexity of this issue. Without Long Island Wins the immigrants will lose their fare share of recognition and the civil, human and constitutional rights they deserve in their pursuit of the American Dream, freedom and opportunity."

Laura Anker - Director of the Office of First-Year Experience at SUNY College at Old Westbury

"Long Island Wins is a powerful advocate for immigrants on Long Island. It informs the immigration debate with important data, strong research and reasoned analysis. By giving voice to the diversity of immigrants and their supporters, it informs protest and policy to improve the lives of immigrants and all Long Islanders."

David Kennedy - Executive Director of Greater Patchogue Chamber of Commerce

"Long Island Wins is important because in a time of great political division over this, and so many other issues, Long Island Wins strives to bring communities together with events and activities that highlight values and love of community shared by all regardless of ethnic or socioeconomic background."

Karl Grossman - Professor of Journalism at Suny College at Old Westbury

"Long Island Wins has emerged as a unique and invaluable element in enabling Long Islanders- and Long Island media- to understand immigration issues. As nativism continues to impact our nation, on Long Island we have Long Island Wins as a beacon of fair, insightful thinking and solid information."

Michael D’Innocenzo - Professor Emeritus of History and Founding Member of Hofstra Center for Civic Engagement

"Long Island Wins is a most affirmative force for good on Long Island and in our nation. Its continuing-and expanding-leadership is essential in fostering and deepening understanding and appreciation across the many lines of diversity that characterize our American society."

Aashish Kumar - MFA, Associate Professor, RTVF Department School of Communication at Hofstra University

"In an environment of shrinking local media coverage, organizations like Long Island Wins are working hard to keep communities informed on issues vital to their lives as citizens, workers, and family-members. Immigration rights advocacy is integral to the future of American democracy, and while opinions abound on this issue, few are able to keep the focus on facts and well-informed policy dialogue as Long Island Wins."
