Immigrant rights and services manual

This manual provides practical information about wide ranging issues such as workers rights, education, small business services, various public benefits and many other issues. Some relatively recent developments and new issues addressed by the manual include: New York City policies affecting immigrants, such as Mayoral Executive Order 41 which protects the confidentiality of immigration status and promotes access to services for undocumented immigrants and Mayoral Executive Order 120, which requires language access for City government; a description of immigrant-related law enforcement services provided by the Manhattan District Attorney's Immigrant Affairs Unit; information about Governor Paterson's new Pardon Panel to assist individuals who are subject to deportation; college financial assistance for undocumented students; and voting rights and ways to become civically involved through participation in community boards, community education councils, and other neighborhood groups.
