That means getting involved in the political process, including contacting congressional representatives, writing letters to the editor, supporting organizations such as Neighbors Link and protesting, if necessary, she said. Last Friday in Purchase, at a fundraising luncheon for Neighbors Link, the Mount Kisco organization that helps integrate immigrants into the local community, Navarro urged its supporters to turn their disappointment and concerns about what lies ahead for the next four years into meaningful action.
