protecting our families
The Trump administration published its changes to the "public charge" rule, an attack on immigrants attempting adjust status to be in the United States legally! The rule will take effect on October 15, 2019, and it is essential that impacted community members seek expert advice if they believe they will be affected by public charge.
If you or someone you know including your organization/agency has questions or is concerned about public benefits, you can refer urgent cases to the Office of New Americans hotline at 1-800-566-7636 for additional information. You can also call SEPA Mujer Inc. 6319802555 drojas@sepamujer.org or Empire Justice Center 6316502317 for Long Island references and additional support including training or presentation inquires.
Help us fight the attacks of this administration in our communities! Organizations across the country are looking to stop this dangerous change for our immigrant families! There are currently 5 lawsuits registered and confirmed against the administration to stop the changes to Public Charge. More are expected in the coming weeks. A bill has also been introduced in Congress (H.R 32222) that seeks to stop funds that are required for the full implementation of the new rule! SEPA Mujer is collecting petitions to take our congressmen and show him that the people of Long Island they represent are asking for their support to support the bill and stop these discriminatory and racist changes!
Join the fight against this discriminatory rule. Get involved with organizations, share this link and attend important forums in your area. Together we can fight racism, discrimination and hate.

What we do
HEAR US ROAR!
Hello my name is Noemi Sanchez, I am a member of SEPA Mujer and I am a survivor of domestic violence. We know there are many stories out there, but continue to be silenced because of fear. Fear made me stay with the man that always psychologically abused me and even tried to kill me. Now only the scars in my life remain. Thanks to God and organizations like SEPA Mujer and iTry that are there to help us and support us. I like to share my testimony so that others who are in the same situation as I was and to break the silence. God made us all different but he gave us the same love in our lives. Violence is not a sign of peace. Together we are responsible and we will not accept violence as part of our lives.No more silence, no more fear!

My name is Marcia Estrada and I am a community leader and a volunteer with SEPA Mujer. I met the organization in 2011. When there was a workshop on immigration, I learned about VAWA (Violence Against Women’s Act) and about many other laws that I did not even know existed. This left me very impressed and I wished to go back and learn more. I was also very impressed with the mission of the organization to help women victims of domestic violence, educate and help those same women to overcome obstacles through empowerment workshops. For the first time I felt supported as a Latina women and as an immigrant and even more so with a network of women of which are now my friends. I now know how to defend myself, protect my children and not be afraid!
