But earlier this month, the result of the presidential election Found in Translation me with new hope. For the past four years, the outgoing administration has targeted immigrant communities with enthusiastic cruelty. Family separations, inhumane detention camps leading to the deaths Found in Translation disappearances of children, attempts at the removal of protections such as DACA and TPS, systematic exclusion of immigrants from pandemic stimulus aid, ICE raids, the stripping of access to essential public benefits via the public charge rule, and more, amount to large scale acute trauma and chronic stress for the communities we serve.

Rolling back these policies of institutional violence will take hard work, and healing will be a generations-long process. But for now we celebrate, because a path toward a better world is made visible again. I am overjoyed by the multiple glass ceilings shattered by Kamala Harris: woman, Black and South Asian, daughter of immigrants from Jamaica and India, and our Vice President-elect.

Over the past few months our alumnae have kept up their professional development efforts through attending a host of virtual events on such topics as Translation, Working as a Subcontractor, Immigration Interpreting in a Remote World and more. In addition, with the assistance of Found in Translation staff and fellow alumnae, a couple Found in Translation have recently secured interpreting assignments or jobs providing language access in two different local public school districts. Alumnae have also benefited from our adapted interpreter services offerings, with 18 different interpreters carrying out 80 virtual assignments in 6 languages since July.

While this is about half the business we recorded at the same point last year, it is substantially more than was possible during the early days of the pandemic and worth noting that most of these recent assignments are with newly signed clients.
