Hudson Waterfront Yesterday, Sam Pratt and Peter Jung of The Valley Alliance held a 90-minute informational session about the draft Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP) at Space 360.

There were people standing around the periphery and sitting on the floor.

The NYCLU asserts that school districts break the law if they inquire about a student's or parent’s immigration status.
