Utica, NY is a liberal post industrial multicultural city in Upstate, NY  that has welcomed refugees fleeing climate catastrophes and authoritarian regimes from many parts of the world.
The Resource Center for Refugees of the Mohawk Velley provides English language classes, resettlement training and community resources to newly arrived immigrants preparing them for eventual naturalization as American Citizens. Likewise Utica has become an active center for "Black Lives Matter" activity with multi ethnic participation, calling attention to the facts that No Hman is Illegal, that Anti Semitism is Racism; That Women's Rights are Human Rights, that Science is Real, Love is Love and that no matter your Faith Kindness is Everything.
