Folks shared about the rally in Kensington led by #Bangla speaking members, and members speaking at City Hall calling for an Office or Interpretation and Translation and resources to get support in our own languages. And many new folks were inspired enough to join as members!

Our #Mandarin speaking members in Flushing are meeting to plan how to win #LanguageAccess when applying for benefits like food stamps, Medicaid and rent relief.

I joined @NAPAWF for a conversation regarding my recently passed legislation, which will improve transparency and service for LEP callers to 311.

Excited to work with @napawfnyc to continue to elevate issues impacting #AAPI women!

[NAPAWF NYC @napawfnyc]

Thanks you @CMSandraUng for joining our Mandarin member meeting to share about legislation to improve #LanguageAccess at @nyc311

Now we need real #LanguageAccess when applying for benefits at @NYCHRA & funding for AAPI orgs who support people to apply! #18percentandGrowing

[Council Member Shahana Hanif @CMShahanaHanif]

From @thenyic to @AAFederation, over a dozen organizations that serve our immigrant communities testified in support of this legislation because we need to expand language access dramatically to better serve New Yorkers. With their help, we'll make language justice a reality!

[Council Member Shahana Hanif @CMShahanaHanif]

At yesterday’s Immigration Committee meeting, we heard my bill, #Intro570, which would create a citywide Office of Translation & Interpretation. This bill would employ native speakers to expand our City's translation capacity while creating good-paying jobs. Read more 👇

[NAPAWF NYC @napawfnyc]

So proud of members & canvassers sharing why we need #LanguageAccess when applying for public benefits from @nychra this morning at City Hall.

Our #Bangla and #Mandarin speaking members are struggling! We need an Office of Translation and Interpretation in @NYCImmigrants now!

[KAFSC @KAFSCNY]

The AAPI Power Coalition released a voter guide available in 8 languages in preparation for the midterms and early voting. This guide will allow more of our immigrant supporters to go out and vote so that we could uplift the voices of our survivors of gender-based violence.

[NAPAWF NYC @napawfnyc]

We need #LanguageAccess now! We demand:

1) Funding for orgs that provide translation and in-languages services like benefits navigation in AAPI languages

2) Increased staff with AAPI language skills at agencies like ⁦@NYCHRA⁩

Nail salon workers are exposed every day to toxic chemicals for long hrs that may lead to miscarriages and birth defects.

Only last week, the Hochul admin finally implemented the long awaited ventilation regulations in nail salons after delaying twice. @NYHealthySalons
