Undocumented immigrants from across the state who say they were shut out of pandemic relief funding are launching a hunger strike.

The weeklong action launched by activists in New York City calls for a $3.5 billion excluded worker fund. This week, the state Legislature released its budget that includes $2.1 billion.

Advocates say it’s not enough to ensure weekly payments on par with the unemployment benefits other workers have received.

Here are some of the groups who were planning attending:

Make the Road New York

New York Communities for Change

New York Immigration Coalition

Street Vendor Project

Desis Rising Up and Moving

Laundry Worker Center 

Workers Justice Project

Red de Pueblos Transnacionales 

National Day Laborer Organizing Network

Don Bosco Community Center

United Community Center of Westchester 

Yonkers Sanctuary Movement 

Jahajee Sisters

Churches United for Fair Housing 

New York Taxi Workers Alliance
