NYC Community Groups Promote Resources, Outreach For NYC Muslims
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) -- Government agencies and community groups are joining forces to inform Muslim New Yorkers about their rights and available resources.
Teams were visiting 12 subway stations as part of the outreach efforts Wednesday. They've been distributing information about free immigration services and protection from discrimination, including in the workplace.
The effort is called #OneNewYork Day of Action: Protecting Our Muslim Communities.
The government partners include the Department of Consumer Affairs, the Mayor's Office of Immigrant Affairs , the mayor's Community Affairs Unit, and the Commission on Human Rights.
