Keep Ravi Ragbir in the US with his family and community!

Sign this petition today to help Ravi and his family!

Long time resident, community activist, father, and husband, Ravi Ragbir, faces permanent exile from his life in the US. A 15-year green card holder, Ravi has worked as an organizer to protect the rights of all immigrants, including through the New Sanctuary Coalition of New York City. But he is now at risk of deportation to Trinidad—without a single meaningful hearing in immigration court—because of a single, decade-old conviction.

Ravi experienced the worst of the deportation system. An immigration judge ordered him to be deported without considering any of the evidence of his character and strong community ties. Ravi was detained for years throughout his immigration case and was transferred to an immigration jail in Alabama, far away from his family and community.

 Upon release from immigration jail, Ravi rose to leadership in the immigrant rights
community. Through his work, Ravi met his current partner and wife, Amy Gottlieb, another community leader. They live in Brooklyn and spend the majority of their time in the New York/New Jersey area, where their family—including Ravi’s teenage daughter, Deborah—also lives.

Despite the overwhelming public support for Ravi to remain in the United States with the family and the community that so desperately needs him, he faces imminent deportation.

Please sign this petition to tell ICE to not deport Ravi!
