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.
This is Endorsement #11 — for Nida Allam, running for Congress in North Carolina’s 4th District (NC‑04).
She’s a Durham County Commissioner and the first Muslim woman ever elected in North Carolina, running a grassroots, no–corporate‑PAC campaign for working families.
Why this endorsement
Working‑class focus. Housing, wages, public schools, and healthcare at the center of the platform.
Bold progressive agenda. Medicare for All, climate action, reproductive justice, and an anti‑war foreign policy.
Movement over money. A local, immigrant‑family candidate powered by small donors and organizers, not billionaires.
If that sounds like your politics, chip in, volunteer, or share her campaign at nidaallam.com.
