On February 25, 2008, KC members joined close to 1,000 immigrant rights advocates in Albany for the New York Immigration Coalition's "Immigrants' Day of Action". The day started with a morning program at the Hart Lounge in the "Egg". We heard speeches from community members and leaders on NYIC's policy priorities and recommendations as well as the importance of upholding the rights of immigrant communities in New York State. This was followed by a march and a rally at the steps of the Capitol Building. The afternoon ended with legislative visits. KC along with our health advocates spoke about ways to improve access to health care for all New Yorkers, including immigrants and their families, by doing the following: 1. Reduce communication barriers and expand opportunities for bilingual/bicultural health care workers, 2. Guarantee access to affordable health care for all New York residents, including immigrants, 3. Wage a campaign to reassure immigrants about their rights to safe and affordable health care.
