On January 29, NYC launched its first Community Interpreter Bank, aimed at centralizing language interpretation services citywide. Funded with $1.4 million for FY 2025, this initiative ensures immigrant New Yorkers can access essential services in their preferred languages. Additionally, the Protect NYC Families initiative allocates over $2 million to nonprofits to enhance legal services and rapid responses amid rising federal immigration enforcement. This interpreter bank will also train community members in interpretation, fostering job creation in the field and promoting language justice for immigrants navigating various systems.
"New York City is a proud city of immigrants, and we must support our city's families from attacks by the Trump administration."
