EVENTS
New York Event Series 2024
We proudly brought Black Deported Veterans of America to participate in the Veterans Day Parade, marching through the heart of Manhattan and making history by raising awareness for deported veterans. Following this powerful display of unity and resilience, we hosted a screening at VFW Flanders Post 150 with the honorable New York State Senator, Jessica Ramos in attendance, sparking important conversations about justice and advocacy.
Additionally, we engaged with students at Baruch College through impactful screenings aimed at educating the next generation on the struggles of deported veterans. A special thank you goes to the Immigrant Defender Law Center for their integral support and for helping uplift these vital stories throughout the event series. Together, we made an unforgettable impact, bridging communities and fostering dialogue for change.
Join the movement by wearing our exclusive "Thou Shall Not Deport Veterans" merchandise.
