And how does Moya utilize ethnic media to keep New York in general and immigrants in particular informed?
Manuel Castro
2:32:20
Yes.
2:32:20
We hold ethic and immigrant media roundtables on a regular basis.
2:32:26
We aim to have at least one per month, if not per quarter.
2:32:31
As I mentioned in my testimony, we held recently two very successful immigrant media at the ground tables.
2:32:38
One to highlight access to health care and another to highlight immigrant rights and housing.

This is incredibly important work that we prioritize because we know that over a third of New Yorkers access media or news through their language community outlets.
