Make the Road New York celebrated the largest gala yet with 325 guests. The event raised $230,000 for MRNY’s work with immigrant and working class New Yorkers.
This organization honored Patrick O’Neill, Executive VP and Organizing Director of UFCW; Justin Swartz, Partner at Outten & Golden LLP; and seventeen of MRNY’s members who, along with many supporters, elected officials and staff, held a 72-hour fast for immigration reform earlier this year.
According to this community-based organization all of the evening’s courageous honorees have shown resilience and determination to build dignity, community and power for NYC’s low-income and immigrant families, workers and students. Their work is exemplary of the values MRNY promotes, and we were proud to honor their achievements and their commitment.
