New York, NY—Today, Donald Trump was elected the 47th President of the United States.
Murad Awawdeh, President and CEO, New York Immigration Coalition:
“Trump will not defeat us. New York would not be the same without the immigrants who have built and rebuilt our culture and economy for generations. Donald Trump has demonized our communities at every turn of this election, and has promised to tear apart the families that have contributed so much more to our great state than he has. We stopped him before and we will stop him again. Together, we will fight the fascist President-elect and his racist deportation agenda every step of the way – to ensure that our immigrant neighbors, families and communities will live in safety and with dignity. We must stand together to protect our immigrant neighbors, and to build a just and inclusive future for all New Yorkers.”
