Documented NYC runs a WeChat channel named 纽约移民记事网Documented, also known as the New York Immigrant Chronicle, which is essentially a Swiss Army knife of info for Chinese-speaking immigrants. They juggle news about healthcare and immigration arrests with giveaways of toys—yes, toys!—plus grocery spots and affordable housing lottery listings. Followers can shoot questions directly to reporters, like 'Where's a free English class?' or 'What's an immigration court really like?' Imagine a nonprofit that’s part newsfeed, part social worker, part therapist, and 100% miracle worker in the chaos of New York City. They've truly cornered the market on 'Be informed and also get free stuff.'
