Long Island’s faith leaders are front and center speaking up against ICE and fighting for a solidarity economy for all communities who call our region home. Read on for two events taking place soon where you can stand with them and join the movement rolling back the billionaire-backed authoritarian overreach currently robbing Long Islanders of their ability to thrive!

Day of the Disappeared Vigil & Rally – November 23

For years, day laborers gathered peacefully to find work in front of the CVS on Depot Road in Huntington Station. Their peace was shattered this year by the Trump Administration’s cruel deportation policies. Since March, about 25 of these workers have been abducted by ICE – disappeared.

We don’t know their names; we don’t know where they were taken; we can’t find their families to notify them that their loved one has disappeared. This is happening all over Long Island and around the country.

We need you to stand with our disappeared immigrant neighbors on Sunday, November 23rd, 3PM, for an interfaith prayer vigil. ALL ARE WELCOME TO PARTICIPATE – this event is for all people of goodwill, religious or non-religious.

Human Rights Luncheon – December 10

Long Island Jobs with Justice invites you to join us and many other friends from LI’s labor, faith, and community organizations for our 2025 Human Rights Luncheon on December 10th. We are living through a moment of immense challenge for all those dedicated to the struggle for justice. The authoritarian escalations and skyrocketing insecurity of working people over the last year are driving home the fact that fundamental changes are needed. We need a solidarity economy that provides for everyone, rather than an extractive system that rewards the wealthy at the expense of working people!

We will be convening to discuss just how to do that, and honor one of the people helping make it happen right now, Susan Steinmann!

We hope you’ll be there to commemorate Human Rights Day and honor Susan for her determination in fighting for justice for all on Long Island.  Click here or the flyer below for tickets!

The day will begin with a press conference, “Why We Speak for Solidarity With Immigrants,” where Long Island faith leaders will speak out against the inhumane deportations sweeping through our communities, and will be followed by a luncheon, “Building a Solidarity Economy on Long Island,” where we will celebrate the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, honor Susan and dream together as we fight for a more just, solidarity-based economy.

Our goal is to raise $20,000 to keep this work alive and our organization strong! As fear and intimidation threaten both our communities and our funders, we’re turning to the strength and generosity of our friends and allies. Stand with us and attend, sponsor, or donate to ensure we can keep fighting for justice on Long Island.  

We hope to see you there on December 10th!

In Solidarity,

Long Island Jobs with Justice
