Heat in the Street: Worsening Climate Change Threatens Bronx Street Vendors
As New York City’s temperatures rise in the summer, so do the risks for outdoor workers who stay outside for dangerously long periods of time in the punishing heat.

What We Do
We are a news outlet and journalism training organization for immigrant voices. We produce podcasts and digital news stories and offer fellowships and workshops to help immigrant journalists reach new audiences, improve their skills, and advance their careers.
Our work brings positive and meaningful change to America’s newsrooms and has a broader impact on how immigration is reported, how journalism is taught at colleges and universities, and the ethnic and racial composition of news organizations.
The Feet in 2 Worlds network includes hundreds of journalists across the U.S. and around the world who have participated in our programs. Collectively, these journalists reach millions of readers and listeners with stories from immigrant communities.
