Kwan, 18 and living on the street because of abuse, emotional and physical, because "they" are "different than other boys" in a way that's not acceptable in Thai culture. #homelessyouths #lgbtyouth #backpacksforthestreet

W/ #DeltaVariant on the rise at such a high rate, why is @NYCMayor @BilldeBlasio pushing his #FOMO #Homecomingweek concert where attendance is expect to be 60,000+ now?
How about we NOT push NYC back to mask-mandated by stupid moves like this & risk shutting the city back down?

“My uncle died in his 60s. He had a whole life ahead of him. My grandmother is a brilliant brave woman fighting for her life. If she had a vaccine, maybe we wouldn't be talking about this.” — A plea from our @LarryMadowo to get vaccinated & share vaccine with more in Africa.

There are moments that make no sense. Such was the case today finding a client we’ve been helping since the first day of the pandemic, who we found across town from his usual spot bundled in near nothing in single digit wind chill. https://t.co/gILKn8O3D2

The city’s #subway system has offered a #shelter of last resort for thousands of #Homeless New Yorkers. last spring @NYGovCuomo mandated that the subway system be shut down overnight for disinfection leaving the homeless out in the cold. #coronavirus
