NY City Council to vote on UAFA Resolution, Domestic Partnership Benefits
The New York City Council will vote on a resolution in favor of the Uniting American Families
Act on March 14, 2007 at City Hall. Come to the vote to show the City Council that your
family matters!
The resolution will be voted upon by the Council along with a vote to extend many benefits
to those who register as Domestic Partners under New York law. Immigration, however, is
under federal jurisdiction. Domestic Partnership does not affect immigration status, but the
Council intends to send a strong message to the U.S. Congress that our families matter by
urging them to pass the Uniting American Families Act.
Join Immigration Equality at City Hall to witness this historic vote and show Congress that
your family matters!
