Quick spotlight on a group that provides real, practical support to survivors — and does it at serious scale.
What is Safe Horizon?
Safe Horizon is a nonprofit that helps people impacted by domestic violence, sexual violence, child abuse, stalking, trafficking, and other forms of harm. Their work spans crisis help, advocacy, and longer‑term services — centered on what survivors need and choose.
Why I like recommending them
Local + concrete. NYC-focused services that meet people where they are.
Survivor-centered. Help without judgment; support that respects agency.
Quick spotlight on a group that’s been a lifeline for New Yorkers facing hunger for decades.
What is Food Bank For New York City?
Food Bank For New York City is the city’s largest hunger relief organization, moving food through a network of hundreds of pantries and community partners across all five boroughs and pairing it with nutrition education and financial empowerment programs.
Why I like recommending them
Local and high‑impact. Directly serves New Yorkers where they live, shop, and learn.
More than a meal. Food plus tools — budgeting help, benefits access, and education.
One of the most impressive on‑camera political conversations I’ve seen in a long time.
A Texas populist doing the hard part: James Talarico sits in the middle of twenty undecided voters, takes real questions without a script, and stays calm, detailed, and genuinely curious the whole way through. If you care about persuasion, listening, and showing up for people who don’t already agree with you, this is worth the time.
Quick spotlight on a group fighting cancer through research, prevention, and direct support for patients and families.
What is the American Cancer Society?
The American Cancer Society (ACS) is a nationwide, community-based nonprofit focused on reducing the burden of cancer for everyone. They fund cancer research, run prevention and screening campaigns, and provide information, lodging, rides, and other support services for people facing cancer.
Why I like recommending them
Big, credible impact. Long track record of funding research and improving cancer care access.
Help that’s close to home. Local programs, rides, and support for patients and caregivers, not just national advocacy.
