Towards the end of February, on Sunday the 22nd, the Justice For Immigrants Program held a Bystander Training Workshop at the St. F. X. Cabrini Shrine in New York City. Neighborhood locals gathered to learn how to support and defend their immigrant neighbors by getting some basic Know Your Rights information, tips on identifying federal immigration officers, how to accurately record and report ICE presence, and much more. We are grateful to all those who came with a willingness to learn!
Graduation Day!
On Friday, March 13th, the graduation ceremony for the Cabrini Nutrition Workshop took place. Thirteen participants from various countries, including Honduras, Venezuela, Ecuador, the Dominican Republic, and Mexico, completed nine nutrition workshops in collaboration with Cornell University’s Cooperative Extension. Story continues on following page.
Throughout the program, participants learned to read food labels, teach their children to eat healthier, practice food safety, and take proper care when washing fruits and
vegetables. Each participant received a diploma and a gift from Cabrini and Cornell as a token of appreciation for their dedication and perseverance throughout the program.
The graduation was a joyful event where everyone shared a pleasant time together and
prepared healthy recipes such as fruit salad, green salad, rice, and guacamole.
The nutrition group began on January 16, 2026, with an orientation session and concluded on March 13, 2026.
