The COVID years have been hard for folks who make their livelihood in Chinatown.
From the very frightening violence that has led to the #StopAsianHate movement, to racism surrounding COVID, to the general precariousness of neighborhood businesses in the face of both COVID and gentrification of nearby neighborhoods, there is no shortage of challenges.
Luckily, there are a lot of organizations doing great work. If you’d like to find a way to contribute - to donate time, money, or expertise - please check out these organizations in NYC. And feel free to send us an email ampclub@studiorodrigo.com to suggest more items.
