May 7, 2020: Cuomo sued for lack of in-person, sign-language interpreter at COVID-19 briefings

Timothy A. Clune, Executive Director of Disability Rights New York, explained why his organization is taking legal action to have the state include an American Sign Language Interpreter to the Governor’s main broadcast feed to expand access for deaf New Yorkers.
