New York Proud: Stories from the City of Immigrants - Incite at Columbia University

Waterwell and The New York Immigration Coalition present an afternoon of immigration stories, music, and camaraderie to celebrate the vibrant role of immigrants in New York City's past, present and future to kick off the Fall 2025 New York Proud campaign.

Prominent actors, faith leaders and civil servants will read short immigration stories curated from oral historians, archives, and historical societies across the city, plus there will be music, mingling, and opportunities to learn how to get involved in NYIC's vitally important work.

The celebratory event will occur at the Perelman Arts Center in downtown Manhattan on Saturday, September 6th, from 3:00-5:00pm (come late! leave early! It's a FREE, informal gathering to swing by). Please Register today here.
