What does it look like when a city stands up—together—for immigrant rights?

On Tuesday, October 14, 2025, the New York Immigration Coalition (NYIC) will host its annual This Is Our New York Gala at The Lighthouse at Chelsea Piers. Now in its 38th year, the NYIC brings together activists, community leaders, and supporters for an evening of unity, recognition, and renewed purpose.

This year’s theme—Say It Loud, Say It Clear: This is Our New York—is more than a slogan. It’s a rallying cry. At a time when immigrant communities face growing challenges, this event serves as a powerful reminder that collective action matters more than ever.

By showing up, guests are standing behind the over 200 immigrant and refugee rights groups that NYIC represents. The night will not only celebrate progress—it will push for what’s next.

Join the movement. Make your presence count.

Join us for the NYIC’s This is Our New York 2025 Gala on Tuesday, October 14th, 2025 at The Lighthouse at Chelsea Piers in New York City. The NYIC’s This Is Our New York Gala brings together members, activists, and supporters to come together to celebrate 38 years in the fight for immigrant rights, and to strengthen our collective power for the years to come.

This year’s event will serve as a call to action:

Say It Loud, Say it Clear: This is Our New York

The need for collective action has never been more urgent. This call to action reminds us of the power of coalition and the duty of all New Yorkers to ensure that our support for immigrant communities is not only felt, but seen and heard as well.
