Proud moment right here!!! Thank you to our partners who make this possible and a special shout out to @SupportandFeed1, @AAActivists!
We are thrilled to share the exciting developments @PS20AnnaSilver had during the past year. From hosting educational events on the health and environmental benefits of a #plantbased diet to creating a plant-based community fridge, they have led the way in planetary health. 🥦
“The volunteers— were told by members of the mayor’s team in a Monday night briefing that they cannot help out at the soon-to-launch arrival center, said Power Malu, the founder of Artists Athletes Activists.”
New: Some volunteers on the frontlines of NYC’s migrant crisis will not be welcome at a 24/7 arrival center for asylum seekers that Mayor Adams plans to announce today.
The volunteers in question have been critical of Adams' handling of the crisis.

These migrants, who were released from federal border custody and allowed to seek asylum, are greeted by volunteers and offered services and basic necessities at the Port Authority bus terminal, including food, coffee and winter clothing, before being placed in city shelters.

Dozens of Venezuelan migrants, most of them families with children, arrived in New York City this morning.
At least 20,000 migrants have arrived in New York since Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and officials in El Paso started busing migrants from the U.S.-Mexico border to Manhattan.

Anyone that tell me D1 is privileged and well resourced is mistaken what the reality is here. Just because you see tall luxury high rises doesn’t mean our families are living large. The fact we have set up community fridges in schools speaks to the real need.

In LES we take care of us. Shout out to @Powermalu and @LilahLMejia for not just being out there during the height of COVID but also now when our families in D1 need it most.
Please take time with this beautiful photo essay from @cveiga and @jose___a. I want to share the kicker quote but I think it’s more powerful if you get there on your own. projects.chalkbeat.org/2022/…
