Good Trouble Lives On Rally TODAY
Join our partners ICNY, Third Act and New York Immigration Coalition (NYIC) rally TODAY to fight back against the attacks on civil and human rights. Good Trouble Lives On is a national day of action to respond to the attacks on our civil and human rights by the Trump administration. Together, we’ll remind them that in America, the power lies with the people.
Meet at Foley Square at 5:30 p.m. Protesters will circle 26 Federal Plaza, located in the Civic Center neighborhood of Manhattan. This protest is hosted by the New York City Good Trouble team, and it is anticipated to be the largest of the NYC protests.

A possible script if helpful:
“Hi, I’m ____________, and I live in ____________, New York. I’m calling to urge the Senator to cosponsor and actively support the Visible Act of 2025 — Senate Bill 2212 — introduced by Senators Cory Booker and Alex Padilla. This bill is critical to improving transparency and accountability in immigration enforcement.
[Share experiences you’ve had doing accompaniment or otherwise seeing ICE agents wear masks and use other strategies to conceal their identities.]
New York should lead on this issue. As your constituent, I urge the Senator to stand up for immigrant New Yorkers by supporting the Visible Act. I hope the Senator will not only cosponsor this bill but also speak out publicly about the need for transparency in federal enforcement agencies.”
Call NOW and spread the word!

Multifaith Mondays: Moral Witness for Democracy
Mondays | 5:30pm – 6:00pm | Columbus Circle
Join Us for Weekly Vigils at Columbus Circle
Mondays | 5:30–6:00 PM
(Gather at the USS Maine Statue, SW corner of Central Park)
Multifaith Monday Vigils create a sacred space for collective lament, prophetic resistance, and moral clarity in a time of deep division. If nothing else, we can stand together, bear witness, and commit to justice—even when the path is uncertain.
As M. Gessen reminds us, “Autocratic power requires the degradation of moral authority.” By gathering, we choose to reinforce and strengthen moral authority, countering isolation and overwhelm.
We look forward to standing with you.
