As part of a $600 million round of grant funding issued in December 2023 to advance
“environmental justice,” the EPA gave out $50 million to a Fordham U-led coalition including the New York Immigration Coalition and the New Jersey Alliance for Immigrant Justice. The NYIC explicitly engages in “nationally recognized” voter registration and get-out-the-vote efforts and pushed for a NYC law that allows non-citizens to vote, while the NJAIJ has advocated for same-day voter registration and maintains a voter registration portal.
