Hyphenated Cities: NYC (with Carmen De La Rosa)

Sophia and Maria introduce Hyphenated Cities, a new series where they explore U.S. cities by discussing how national and local immigration policies have impacted the city’s resident immigrant populations and speak to local leaders on the topic. This week's episode kicks off this new series by focusing on New York City! Later on in the episode, they spoke with NYS Assemblywoman Carmen De La Rosa about the NYS Dream Act, her experience running for office as a Dominican American woman, #FundExcludedWorkers, and her plans to serve immigrants in her community.

NYS Assemblywoman Carmen De La Rosa is a career public servant and a resident of Inwood in Northern Manhattan, who is deeply committed to serving her community. She was born in the Dominican Republic and immigrated to the Inwood section of New York City as a young child. In November 2016, Carmen was elected to the NYS Assembly, becoming the second woman to ever represent the 72nd Assembly District. She is currently running for NYC City Council-District 10.
