Women in New York City are in crisis. Why is no one calling it that?

In the heart of Utica, New York, a small but resilient community gathered on August 8th to celebrate the life of Nyah Mway, a 13-year-old refugee from Myanmar whose tragic death left a lasting scar on our city.

Organizing in larger cities like New York can feel like a drop in the ocean, with movements often spread across a vast and diverse population. While the scale of activism in big cities can be staggering and powerful, it can also be challenging to maintain a sense of personal connection in the fight against systemic issues like police brutality. The sheer size of the city can make it difficult for individual stories to be heard, for grief to be shared in an intimate way, and for collective healing to take place.

Why collective action is more meaningful than the “individual carbon footprint.”

How do we approach coverage of Trump and his campaign as he spreads misinformation without adherence to the democratic process? How do local journalists, in particular, cover their community which might be threatened by one or both presidential candidates? We report—objectively and fairly.
