Navigating New York’s court, health-care and other systems and institutions is tough for anyone but even more so if there’s a language barrier. @themarkup tells the story of Concejo de Pueblos Originarios, a collective set up by Indigenous migrants from Mexico and other parts of the Americas. Its goal is to educate migrants about social programs, public services and government resources in New York via livestreams in Indigenous languages such as Tlapaneco and Tu’un savi. The group also provides live interpreters at court and organizes community meetings.
