No to Gender Violence

Living with someone who causes you harm is not easy, especially when having to create a safety plan to seek refuge elsewhere.

People who are surviving violence in their homes may be experiencing increased isolation and increased exposure to risk caused by social distancing measures due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Survivors often have specific needs around safety and confidentiality.

You are not alone and support is available 24/7. There are several not-for-profit organizations throughout the five boroughs whose lines are open and staffed with experts ready to offer free and confidential assistance with safety planning, securing alternative shelter, among other services.

Plasma, panic & pandemics

Blood treatment was a bust for Craig Spencer.

In 2014, Spencer became Patient Zero – New York City’s first Ebola patient.

Outbreaks of Ebola, a rare but deadly virus, most commonly surface in sub-Saharan Africa.

In 2014, approximately eleven cases surfaced in the United States including Spencer, who had returned from working with Doctors Without Borders in West Africa. He was treated, and recovered, at Bellevue Hospital.

Among the therapies used to save his life was blood treatment, in which he received plasma infusions from an Ebola survivor.

“It didn’t work. It gave me some complications,” recalled Spencer.

Spencer, who now serves as an emergency room physician and Director of Global Health in Emergency Medicine at New York-Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center, warned against over-confidence in quick potential cures as the city continues to grapple with the coronavirus crisis.

“Right now, the only thing we know that decreases cases and mortality is staying home. That’s it,” remarked Spencer. He noted that medication such as hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin have shown promise but more research is needed.

New benefits agreement for family of fallen transit workers

A new benefits package has been announced for the family of transit workers whose lives were lost to COVID-19.

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), Transport Workers Union Local 100 (TWU), the International Association of Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Workers (SMART), and International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local 808 (IBT) have announced an agreement to provide benefits for families of transit workers who died due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The benefits include a payment of $500,000 from the MTA to the surviving family of any worker who lost their life as a result of COVID-19, in addition to providing health insurance to the spouse and dependents to the age of 26 of the surviving family for three years.

“Transportation workers are the moving heroes of this public health crisis, continuing to get healthcare workers, first responders and other essential personnel where they need to go and saving lives,” said MTA Chairman and CEO Patrick J. Foye. “What our frontline workers have done during this pandemic is nothing short of heroic and we believe this agreement is another crucial step in recognizing their sacrifice. The losses the MTA family has suffered are heartbreaking and our thoughts are with the families of our beloved colleagues during this challenging time.”

iPads for patients

No one is allowed to visit the thousands of New Yorkers hospitalized with COVID-19.

Dr. Jenny Chang saw many patients admitted without cell phones, leaving them out of touch with those they need most.

Chang is a resident physician at Jacobi-Montefiore’s Emergency Room.

She and her team created a virtual visitation program. They are requesting donations of iPads so patients can contact their loved ones while in isolation.

“As providers, we cannot even begin to imagine the loneliness and fear these patients must feel or fathom the sorrow and helplessness of their families,” Chang said in a statement. “Due to the no-visitation policy, many critically ill and dying patients are unable to communicate or say a final farewell to their loved ones.”

City Council to hold first-ever remote stated meeting

There’ll be a change in the chambers.

For the first time in over eighty years, the New York City Council will hit “remote.”

On April 22, the Council will conduct a Stated meeting in remote fashion, a first in the Council’s history.

It will be the legislative body’s first meeting since the coronavirus outbreak.

Members of the public will be able to watch the meeting online in real time via the Council website.

“It isn’t easy to get an 82-year-old legislative body up and running remotely for the first time in its history, but I am proud of the work that the staff put in to make this happen in a secure and publicly accessible fashion. I speak for all members in saying we are eager to resume legislating for the people of New York,” said Council Speaker Corey Johnson in the announcement, made public on April 15th. “The coming weeks and months will not be easy for us as a city, but I can guarantee that the Council will do everything in its power to help us weather this difficult time.”

Since mid-March, all Council meetings have been cancelled due to COVID-19.

New Yorkers under orders to wear masks in public

Mask your mug.

Any New Yorker venturing out in public and in‎ situations where social distancing cannot be maintained must now wear a mask or face covering.

Governor Andrew Cuomo issued an executive order on Wednesday requiring all people in New York State to cover their faces. Effective Friday, April 17, the order will be enforced by local governments.

“If you are going to be in a situation, in public, where you come into contact with other people in a situation that is not socially distanced, you must have a mask or a cloth covering nose and mouth,”
Cuomo said at a press conference.

Cuomo explained that the order was part of a “phased reopening” that would allow the state to return to normal.

He suggested that the COVID-19 crisis would not be considered over until scientists could develop a viable vaccination against the virus.

Sustenance and solidarity at the Y

Martin Englisher has seen a lot.

For over four decades, Englisher has served at the YM & YWHA of Washington Heights and Inwood (the Y), an organization with an astonishing 103 years of history in Northern Manhattan.

The group has endured numerous challenges since its founding, including moving locations twice and weathering periods of tumult when crime and violence plagued uptown streets. Many of the organization’s older members are Holocaust survivors.

But even Englisher, the Y’s Chief Executive Officer, is floored.

“I’ve faced a lot of things in my 40 years here, but I’ve never faced this,” he remarked, noting that COVID-10 has presented historic challenges for the staff and members alike.

While New York City remains on pause due to the coronavirus pandemic, residents remain in need of essential services provided by community organizations.

This includes Northern Manhattan seniors reliant upon meals from the Y, which provides social services and enrichment programs for all ages.

“We were getting calls from our members. They were saying they were going hungry,” said Englisher.

It’s the community v. COVID-19.

A new grant program established by New York-Presbyterian Hospital (NYP) will award up to $10 million in grants to Northern Manhattan businesses hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic.

The grant program is designed to provide emergency cash assistance to businesses, non-profits and partnerships taking a financial hit or fighting for survival due to the virus.

“We must mobilize now, and do all we can, to help our businesses and community organizations during this trying time,” said Luis Miranda, who will chair the initiative’s Advisory Board. “The sooner we act, the sooner critical resources will actually reach and help those in greatest need.”

Columbia sports facility turned into field hospital

From laps to labs.

The indoor practice bubble at Columbia University’s Baker Athletics Complex in Inwood, which features a world-class track, is being repurposed into a field hospital to care for COVID-19 patients.

NewYork-Presbyterian (NYP) has partnered with Columbia and former U.S. military personnel to develop the field hospital, which will be capable of treating up to 288 patients with COVID-19, according to a NYP spokesperson.

Typically used by Columbia University’s varsity sports teams as a winter practice facility, the site is now under conversion for medical use and is expected to receive its first coronavirus patients within a few days.

The athletic complex is located on 218th Street near Broadway, adjacent to NYP’s Allen Hospital. The temporary field hospital will be used to alleviate the demand on Allen and other NYP hospitals.

‪The UC Recap‬ ‪ The trailer for the much-anticipated In The Heights movie may have made its official premiere elsewhere, but on Wednesday, December 11 the cast and crew were welcomed home with a raucous and spirited affair at 809 on Dyckman. To see one’s neighborhood rendered so beautifully and tenderly gave everyone in attendance the collective chills and moved folks so much that the trailer had to be played twice that evening. The adoring crowd was also treated to a spectacular gag reel that illustrated the genuine bond the cast shared. The love in the room was palpable as all these luminaries who were a part of this film shared stories from what they all said was the best summer of their lives working on this project. The In The Heights movie is set to take over the globe next year but this past week it conquered Uptown. Washington Heights will never be the same again. The film will be released on June 26, 2020.

After making waves with its debut in the Dominican Republic and Puerto, Que León is coming to the states today, Friday, January 25, 2019. The film marks the first acting role for Reggaeton sensation Ozuna and boasts a stellar cast of some serious talent such as Clarissa Molina, Celines Toribio, Raymond Pozo and Miguel Céspedes to name just a few. Directed by Frank Perozo, Que León is a feel good film that will have you laughing from the beginning to the very end. The movie also does an excellent job of highlighting the rugged beauty of the Dominican Republic. The island is very much a character in the film. The Dominican film industry has been growing by leaps and bounds and Que León represents a major development in that trajectory. Que León is the first Caribbean film to reach 25 countries and in the United states to reach 15 states, 35 cities and 65 theaters in its premiere in theaters. With that said, it is imperative that we support that growth, which will ensure that these types of films continue to be made. So get your tickets ASAP and let your people know that they have to see Que León. By the way, word on the street is that Que León 2 is already in the works. Stay tuned! www.UptownCollective.com

Stray dogs, or Satos as they are known on the island, are a common sight in Puerto Rico, one that unsettled Chrissy Beckles. Originally from England, Beckles moved to the U.S. and had her own consulting business. On a return flight from Puerto Rico in 2007, she had what she called, “her Oprah moment.” She started calling organizations to see if she could help and began to volunteer. Eventually she quit her business and started The Sato Project in 2011. The organization spays and neuters dogs. Volunteers feed them and arrange for medical care. They also bring dogs to the mainland for adoption. Since the hurricane, The Sato Project has reunited 183 families with their dogs. “We call it the ‘No Dog Left Behind Program,’” Beckles said. “It’s a program we’d love to continue but we need financial help.” “In an average year, we rescue about 300 to 350 dogs,” she said. “Since September, we’ve rescued over 1,000.” Read more at www.ManhattanTimesNews.com or click link in bio... #WashHts #Harlem #Inwood #Dyckman #EastHarlem #ElBarrio #WHIN #Bronx #NYC #WashingtonHeights #Uptown #UptownNYC #UptownLove #WashHeights

The Throne Watchers Watching Game of Thrones will never be the same. Comedy stars Michael Díaz and Anthony Palmini created a new video that beautifully sends up the hugely popular HBO series. Gente of Thrones has sleek production values, spine-tingling music and great comic timing. Palmini was always a big fan of the show. Michael Díaz., who plays Lord Abogado in the 3:18 minute trailer, recently binge watched the show and was hooked. In the video, Juan Snow (Jean Fernández) attempts to unite the various factions of Westerňos (including House DR, House PR and House of Orale) to fight the feared White Walkers. Room 28’s comedy cast is heavily represented. Mama Stark (Rachel Strauss-Muñiz) has her own version of how things should be “united.” K-Lo (Ariana Rodríguez) is the mother of chupacabras and holds the avocados that will eventually hatch the dreaded beast. There are wall jokes, a pasteles, sight gags and Díaz himself steals a scene with a fabulous costume. But what’s really noticeable about the video—which can be found BuzzFeed’s Pero Like—are the high production values. The shots are complex. The lighting is just right, the editing is tight and the timing is on the money. The orchestral sound track is worthy of the TV show it mocks. It’s clear that Díaz (aka Juan Bago), Palmini and Room 28 have traveled a long way since their early and hilarious Hooked on Hookah and Vivaporu videos.

#Repost @uptowncollectiv ・・・ Uptown Tonight: Dominican Film Festival returns This year’s festival, which runs from July 25 to 30, will present 70 films at seven different venues. It will debut with José María Cabral’s Carpinteros, the first film from the Dominican Republic to screen at the Sundance Film Festival. The film is focused on the love story between Julian and Yanelly as set within the Najayo prison, and how they master the elaborate sign language known as woodpecking to communicate. Get your tickets ASAP before they are all gone.

#Repost @uptowncollectiv ・・・ Uptown Tonight: Film Works Alfresco - Los Sures Make your way to Gaelic Field in Inwood Hill Park tonight to catch this must-see film. The pre-show begins at 7:30 and features a performance from Los Pleneros de la 21. In the late 70’s and early 80’s, Los Sures was one of the poorest neighborhoods in New York City. In fact, it had been called the worst ghetto in America. Diego Echeverria’s film skillfully represents the challenges of its time: drugs, gang violence, crime, abandoned real estate, racial tension, single-parent homes, and inadequate local resources. The complex portrait also celebrates the vitality of this largely Puerto Rican and Dominican community, showing the strength of their culture, their creativity, and their determination to overcome a desperate situation. Beautifully restored, this documentary is a priceless piece of New York City.
