Change the world by helping immigrants adjust to their new home

To support our community through the surge in hate crimes, we have established a network of safe havens. These safe havens consist of businesses, organizations, and spaces that provide a secure environment and assistance to community members feeling unsafe or experiencing a crime and needing immediate help. Upon entering any of the locations on this map, the staff will provide a safe space and immediately contact 911 to report the crime. Please note that the map will be regularly updated with new locations.
