On June 15th, CPC’s Adult Literacy program instructor Caroline Scown spoke at the New York Immigration Coalition rally alongside other agencies, advocates, and immigrant New Yorkers for a budget that centers immigrants as essential to NYC’s recovery. Caroline urged the City Council to baseline $12 million for the Adult Literacy initiative and to launch the Investing in Quality Adult Literacy Pilot for $10.5 million to address the inequitable gap in digital literacy, systems navigation skills, and access to all resources available to New Yorkers.
