Epicenter NYC

Epicenter-NYC is a community journalism and civic engagement organization dedicated to connecting and empowering New Yorkers – especially immigrants, working families, and small businesses. Founded during the pandemic to share critical information on testing, resources, and mutual aid, Epicenter has grown into a trusted local newsroom covering culture, politics, education, and community resilience across Queens and beyond.

Through newsletters, events, partnerships, and original reporting, Epicenter-NYC helps neighbors navigate city life, amplifies underrepresented voices, and builds bridges between grassroots communities and local institutions.
