Show Notes

Excluded workers fund, mutual aid and the delta variant

This week in La Voz en Breve, journalist Mariel Fiori has a show on politics and health.
The very good news is that the New York State Department of Labor has already opened applications for the Excluded Workers Fund, which gives funds of up to $ 15,600 to immigrant workers who have not received federal or pandemic aid previously, and I gave you the details.
Peter Buffett, President of the NoVo Foundation, which finances the operations of Radio Kingston, and other community projects, shared a letter he wrote for the Kingston community that Mariel read today in Spanish.
In addition, Kwame Holmes, one of the administrators of Kingston Mutual Aid, spoke about what is happening with this solidarity initiative, a group of people who help each other, without judging each other.
The Delta variant of the coronavirus is among us and Dr. Marta Sánchez of the Institute for Family Health answered our questions. Her recommendation: vaccinated or not, wear masks in all indoor public settings, such as supermarkets, shops, and offices.
