Hey! I would like to donate to a local organization supporting Haitians in NYC now that they have lost Temporary Protected Status due to a recent SCOTUS ruling.

I googled and found:

- Haitian Americans United for Progress (HAUP): Located in Queens Village, they offer immigration, resettlement, and community support services.

- Haitian American Alliance of New York (HAA): Based in NYC, they protect the health, education, and welfare of the community.

- Catholic Charities has a Haitian outreach program

Does anyone have experience with any of these organizations and recommend them in particular?

Why water the plants in the middle of a hot day and also wet the benches so no one can sit on them on a Saturday? Very bizarre if we want people actually sitting at the park on a Saturday

I saw an interesting comment on a video about all the Boba shops popping up [1] describing it as gentrification from China. Most of these Boba / Bubble tea shops flooding NYC are not actually owned by people here in the City or the United States.

That said, are there any that are American or locally owned? I'd love to give them my support! Especially as many local immigrant shops have disappeared over the years.

Just moved. I guess the obvious thing is to run to the water and run along Gantry. Curious if people have other go-to routes.
