NYC Letter-Writing to Ukrainian prisoners of war, civilians, and Crimean Tatars
Sun, Jun 7, 7:00 PM**NYC Letter-Writing Gathering: Support People Held in Russian Prisons** Join us in New York City for a simple but powerful act of solidarity - writing letters to Ukrainian prisoners of war, detained civilians, and Crimean Tatars held in Russian prisons. In a city where millions of stories intersect, this is a chance to connect your voice to someone who has been cut off from the world. For many people in detention, letters are one of the very few ways they can feel seen, remembered, and supported. We’re a community of volunteers based in NYC, and we regularly come together to write and send letters through verified electronic systems used by prisons in Russia. **Important to know:** We send letters electronically, which means they are printed and delivered inside the facilities. In some cases, people are able to reply, and we do receive responses, although not to every letter. Delivery and replies can depend on factors outside of our control. **Why it matters:** A single letter reminds someone that they are not alone. **What to expect:** – Step-by-step guidance (no experience needed) – Real recipient profiles - you can choose who to write to – All materials provided – Option to send letters anonymously **Who should come:** New Yorkers and anyone in the area who care about human rights, Ukraine, and supporting people through small but meaningful actions. Bring a friend, or just come as you are. Stay for 15 minutes or the whole event — every letter counts.

Helping the homeless to get off the streets this winter
Sat, May 30, 11:00 PMHello all, https://bowery.volunteerhub.com/vv2/ I was extremely saddened by this weekend's brutal killing of 4 homeless people in lower manhattan. I have contacted the Bowery mission to help and see what we can do as a community to provide food and shelter for the homeless. This is an endless effort. I encourage you all to helpout whenever, and whatever you have to get them off the streets, and to clean up the shelter and talk to the government to get programs incentives to allow landlords to use up their vacant space, even if its a few months for the winter. Many of you do not know that homeless people choose to be outside, because they don't feel safe in shelters. Or because of their illness that they do not want contact with people or helping themselves. Bowery mission helps manhattan folks - with shelter/ food/ clothing. Please help 1 at a time. IF you have other resourses to share or events to share, Please POST! Thanks all. Lisa, Thank you for reaching out. We were also stunned and heartbroken by this horrific attack. I truly admire the work that you do—I think the events of this weekend present a call for all of NYC’s nonprofits that deal with homelessness and its tangential issues to work together and form a unified front, so I am grateful for your interest and passion. I encourage you to check out our volunteer site and please reach out with any questions or if this is not what you are looking for. If you are looking for something more specific, I’m happy to jump on a call. Let me know what makes the most sense. Thank you—hope you had a nice weekend. All the best, Eli Eli Parker-Burgard Development Officer cid:image002.jpg@01D3CC39.0ED1F7C0 The Bowery Mission Administrative Headquarters 432 Park Avenue South, 3rd Floor, New York, NY 10016 (O) 646.435.1103 www.bowery.org Connect with us: @BoweryMission Transform a life: bowery.org/donate
