3. MESSAGE TO NEW COUNTY EXECUTIVE.

We (Long Island Immigrant Alliance) are writing to offer our congratulations on your election to the Office of County Executive, and to follow-up with our meeting. As you may recall, the Long Island Immigrant Alliance (LIIA) was born out of the need to counter, contain, and prevent inhumane and often violent, attacks against Latino immigrants. LIIA is comprised of some 50 charitable organizations that collectively endeavor to create a Long Island that is inclusive, welcoming, and responsive to all residents. As such, the alliance is well positioned to be a resource to you and to your administration.  (Read the entire report)
