Events and News
While most of the work we do at ASC involves our weekly asylum support clinic sessions, during which we help asylum seekers apply for asylum and work authorization, the clinic also sometimes hosts educational programs and gets recognition.
​
For example, ASC Supervising Attorney Seth Goodman Park, Esq., was interviewed in April 2025, along with New York Immigration Coalition CEO Murad Awawdeh, for a City Works TV show titled The Fight of their Lives: Undocumented Workers Under Siege, a joint production of CUNY School of Labor and CUNY TV.
