ACTION ALERT!
NYCPS Must Revise Protocols Regarding ICE: Call + Email today!
Who we are
We are parents, caregivers, educators, and organizers working alongside Hands Off NYC to stand up for our neighbors and each other against federal escalation in our city. No child should have to worry about their parents being kidnapped by ICE. No child should have to walk by armed agents to get to school. Together we say: no troops in NYC and ICE out of NYC. We are stronger when we’re organized and when we act collectively.
If you’re a parent who wants to take action and build community with other parents, sign up for updates, resources, and action alerts.

Join Hands Off NYC Families at Many Hands Workshop on Sep 8 from 2-5pm for a kid-friendly DIY swag lab! Join us to paint, create and connect with our HONYC families and friends. Please share and RSVP for details and to help with planning.
In the back-to-school spirit, we are inviting kids to submit designs that can be transformed into decals for the hot press. We’d love to see their creative visuals and slogans on themes like keeping ICE out of schools, protecting our communities, standing up for freedom and democracy, and more!
If your child is interested, please share an image with a transparent background, 300 dpi resolution in png format by Monday, Aug 31 to info@handsoffnycfamilies.org. We can’t promise all images will become decals, but we will try!
Community Playdates
At community playdates, we distribute resources, take action together and families forge the connections needed to support our immigrant neighbors and strengthen our community in the face of threats.
We’ll announce dates and locations here, or sign up to our email list to stay informed.
Anybody can host a playdate - if you’ve ever organized a kids’ party or playdate you already know how! When you’ve decided when and where your playdate will be let us know about it so we can list it in our communications!
