Ensuring our City’s services are reachable means making sure programs reflect linguistic diversity. It was great to join @AAFederation in celebrating the first worker cooperative for AAPI language interpreters. Thanks to all the advocates for advancing linguistic accessibility.

I was proud to join @AAFederation for the launch of the citywide Asian Languages Interpreter Co-op today. Language equity is crucial for ensuring access to the range of services and opportunities we have citywide. For too long, AAPI New Yorkers have been left without (1/2)

Yesterday, our Deputy Director testified with partners from @AAFederation’s RISE Network, joining immigrant advocates in urging the City to pass the NYC Know Your Rights Act, the NYC Trust Act, and strengthen sanctuary protections for New Yorkers.

New Yorkers: You have rights, no matter your status, and deserve to know and exercise them.
The city can do more to ensure this information reaches people who need it, and @CMAlexaAviles' NYC Know Your Rights Act will educate more communities about legal sanctuary protections.

Trusted CBOs deliver crisis and mental health emergency support but they need more funding to meet rising demand. We also recommended @NYCCouncil develop and publish equity-centered performance metrics & deliver multilingual public education campaigns to help reduce stigma.

We urged @NYCCouncil to consult Asian-led, immigrant-serving organizations when reviewing 911 reporting data and to include such orgs on the 988 taskforce. Furthermore, building partnerships with community hotlines can improve in-language, culturally-competent services for NYers.

Today AAF testified with @AAFSC at @NYCCouncil on how NYC can improve transparency and accountability for 988 calls and better serve Asian New Yorkers in this period of acute mental health challenges. Thank you @tiffany_caban for the opportunity to testify!
