A Growing Crisis Among New York's Families

Right now in NYC, thousands of Asian immigrant parents are quietly preparing emergency plans for their children—naming who can care for them, what medications they need, and what happens if Mom or Dad doesn’t come home from work.

As ICE arrests of Asian Americans triple nationwide, every arrest or deportation leaves a person separated from their loved ones.

Children are left without a parent. Seniors lose caregivers. And families are left wondering how they’ll pay rent or buy food without a breadwinner.

Too many families lack a plan if the unthinkable happens.

Your gift gives families safety and peace of mind.

Your support helps us:

Provide multilingual family emergency preparedness guides so families know exactly how to protect their loved ones
Distribute preparedness kits in more Asian languages to reach more vulnerable families
Connect vulnerable families with resources to keep food on the table and meet basic needs
Train staff who can respond with care and accuracy when people need help most

These guides and resources are often the first real, practical thing a family can use to feel safer—and your support puts them into the hands of those who need them most.

No family should need a plan for separation. But right now, thousands do. And they are counting on caring New Yorkers like you.

Please consider supporting the Asian American Federation as we work to protect Asian immigrants and keep families safe.
