IDNYC PSAs

IDNYC Multilingual Renewal Campaign

IDNYC is for all New Yorkers and we pride ourselves in the great diversity of languages spoken in NYC. The following PSA videos are in various languages including indigenous and African languages spoken in NYC. The videos were released on International Mother Language Day in 2020 as part of the IDNYC renewal campaign. These PSAs were created in partnership with the Mayor's Office of Immigrant Affairs and the Endangered Language Alliance. Each video contains the same information.
