Queens7.com
Queens7.com is a hyperlocal online news site for immigrant communities in Queens. It covers the neighborhoods along several stations of the 7 Train from 61st Street to 82nd Street.
Queens7.com’s objective is to provide relevant news and information to the immigrant communities in Woodside, Jackson Heights and Elmhurst.
Specifically, Queens7.com aims to:
- Make the immigrant communities aware of what’s happening in their neighborhoods to enable them to make informed decisions;
- Help explain issues affecting the immigrant communities;
- Advocate for immigrant rights and immigration reforms; and
- Help forge solidarity among various immigrant groups in the neighborhoods.
Leading the project is the Philippine Forum, a not-for-profit organization providing advocacy and direct service to Filipino-Americans and people of Filipino heritage. Several other not-for-profit organizations serving immigrant communities in the three Queens neighborhoods have been invited to take active roles in Queens7.com.
