Our annual coming out of the shadows community rally is almost here!  Undocumented community members will be sharing their stories and giving a face to the immigration debate while breaking free from the fear and shame. Coming out is a process. It's okay if you don't feel ready to share their story in such a big way . Even if you don't feel ready to come out, you're welcome to come and be there to support others. These coming out events will be filled with stories, music, poems, and many more performances. They are open to the public regardless of immigration status. Bring family and friends! sunday April 6th at 12pm Union Sq on the East 14th Street side ACROSS THE STREET FROM WHOLE FOODS email info@nysylc.org for more info If you want your story displayed on our website/want to sign up to come out click here:http://tinyurl.com/sharestoryylc
