On this edition of Tiempo, we discuss the potential impacts of federal funding cuts on nonprofit organizations in New York City.
President Donald Trump announced his administration will withhold federal payments to sanctuary cities beginning on Sunday.
The president believes sanctuary cities have policies that limit local law enforcement's ability to cooperate with federal immigration officers. A significant portion of the federal funds go to social services, education and housing, just to name a few.
The decision has a major financial impact for many nonprofits in the Tri-State area.
Joining us to discuss is Dr. Lauren Jen, assistant medical director at Children's Aid, and Pedro Rodriguez, executive director of La Jornada.
We also catch up with the Bronx Council on the Arts, the official cultural agency for the borough.
The organization offers grants, artist residencies and resources, especially for underrepresented groups in the Bronx.
We'll have more on the council and the free workshops and programs it offers coming up.
