Association Tepeyac
Description: The Association Tepeyac's Central Offices also serves as a social service agency for those Latinos who cannot go to city agencies because they lack proper documentation. Those who are Spanish speakers, undocumented immigrants live under inhumane conditions, yet are ineligible for most services provided by the city. The Tepeyac Association of New York responds to those needs by organizing Mexicans to defend their human rights, educate them concerning these rights, as well as foster a sense of community through social, economic, and cultural activities. Additionally, the Association’s monthly publication, El Popocatéptl, serves to inform members about their rights, services that Association and other organizations in the city can offer them, and empowers their Mexican identity. Clearly immigrants know that the Association is here to serve them. The media is always paying attention about the situations, plans and events that the Tepeyac Association is addressing to empower new immigrants.
