From: DOH Commissioner, Dr. James McDonald (not from respected Assembly member John McDonald)
I ask for your help sharing an important resource from the New York State Office of New Americans (ONA): the Know Your Rights Toolkit, which provides clear, practical guidance for immigrant families seeking services and support in our communities.
Please take a moment to review the toolkit (https://dos.ny.gov/know-your-rights), which includes information on health care, legal assistance, language access, and emergency preparedness. If you work directly with community partners or local organizations, please consider sharing this flyer and link with them.
By distributing these materials, you’re helping ensure every New Yorker knows their rights and where to turn to for help.
Thank you for getting the word out and for making a difference.
