Residents of Springfield, Ohio packed a Haitian restaurant to show their support
After a (debunked) rumor that Haitian immigrants who have relocated to Springfield, Ohio, are stealing and eating local pets was put in the national spotlight, the community has navigated bomb threats, school and city building closures, and more.
Romane Pierre, a Haitian immigrant living in Dayton, Ohio, is the manager of Rose Goute Creole Restaurant, where he has been fielding prank calls. Fortunately, his neighbors responded very differently and weren’t dissuaded by the claims.
Quite the opposite: they showed up to the restaurant in droves over the weekend, with social media posts documenting lines out the door.
A mother-daughter duo is helping Indigenous migrants by providing translation services, meeting cultural needs, and more.

Let the best flights find you
Going helps over 2 million members travel the world by monitoring thousands of flights so you don’t have to. Going members save an average of $550 on plane tickets!
Here’s how it works: After you select your Going membership (or start with a free trial), you simply choose your U.S. departure airport and let Going do the rest. They keep a close eye on airfare to over 900 destinations around the world, and when the prices drop, they let you know. Then, all you have to do is book your flight! Most deals are 40-90% off normal prices with great itineraries from the best airlines.
It’s everything great about going on vacation without the stress of searching for flights. Never overpay for flights again!
Beyond being a right nobody should take for granted, voting is an important way regular people can make their voices heard — and the only way a government that represents the best interests and needs of the people is established.
In 2020, 158.4 million citizens — almost two-thirds of estimated eligible voters — voted in the U.S. presidential election. While that was a higher-than-average turnout, it still left lots of eligible voters who didn’t participate.
There are many reasons for that: disillusionment, scheduling conflicts with work or child care, confusing ID requirements, limits on absentee voting, and more.
Still, there are ways we can help make a difference and encourage voting (one of them, ironically, is by voting for candidates who want to remove barriers for eligible voters!), like...
🗳️ Signing up to be a poll workerand make sure your community’s polling sites are sufficiently staffed.
🗳️ Reminding family and friends to register to vote. (Or if they are registered, to double-check that their information is accurate!)
I’ve already got my mail-in ballot requested — I love the convenience of researching and filling it out in my own time, mailing it in, and then watching for the status update online!
Election Day, early voting, mail-in voting... how are you voting in November?
