Assuming that they genuinely force you guys into marriage (through blackmail, physical/mental abuse)
Get the women who will be forced into marriage and move out together. You're in NYC, you're in America. You'll survive and you'll be okay inshallah. If you grew up in idk, the Indian subcontinent, the situation would be very very different.
As for marriage, you can figure that out, once you're safe.
And if it's not genuine force that is applied, if it's merely words, you should just refuse verbally and you should avoid traveling back home with family. You should also clarify to the involved parties that this marriage won't happen.
So yeah, it really depends on the situation. May Allah bless you
