Being Human
By Claire Kinnen
As New York City continues to welcome migrants to the city, mutual aid groups are expanding networks they created in 2020 to respond to new needs within the city. Claire Kinnen connected with Sunnyside Woodside Mutual Aid member, Angela Callisaya, to learn more about how she is supporting the community by teaching an ESL class for new New Yorkers. Angela connects with both her Bolivian culture and love for Queens as she helps connect people and build community. We will also hear from the policy expert Sam Stanton and Make the Road’s Leslie Ariza.
