March 4, 2017 — Around 30 staff members, families, and volunteers gathered on the Upper East Side to walk under the LSA banner in the East Harlem Solidarity March, hosted by NYC Council Speaker and East Harlem District 8 City Council representative Melissa Mark-Viverito.

Marchers held posters with positive messages of solidarity with families in the community, especially with immigrant families. LSA was joined by the team of Cada Paso, and walked with fellow community and health organizations that serve the neighborhood. The march ended at the Johnson Community Center on Lexington Avenue, where various speakers – including our own CEO, Reada Edelstein, and Child Specialist Yolanda Tovar – spoke to express messages of unity with the families we serve.
