ASK ME ANYTHING, I MIGHT LIE

How do you cook your broccoli?

CRISTO, Brooklyn, NY

Cristo,

Grilled, sauteed, or roasted is ideal. But really any method except boiled. You know this, I know this, the American people know this: mushy broccoli is unacceptable.

    Fashion trends have come and gone. Some so absurd we believed they’d already hit rock bottom. Yet somehow, fashion always finds a way to dig deeper.

    The addiction. The craving. It pulls me effortlessly into its embrace. I convince myself I can resist, but it haunts me.

    Last year, I embarked on a quest. That quest could have taken me to a grocery store. But walking mere steps outside my back door was better.

COOL HAND FRANK highlights purpose-driven organizations working to make this world healthier, happier, and better.

These times are rough for first- and second-generation immigrants in the United States, and especially those from non-European backgrounds. The U.S. immigration system needs significant improvement—reforming antiquated systems and outdated processes. Yet what remains indisputable is that the reasons for immigrating here today are mostly the same as they were for nearly every citizen’s ancestors.

For more than a century—since 1911—the nonprofit, non-governmental U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI), has helped refugees and immigrants overcome challenges in the pursuit of citizenship when the U.S. immigration system falls short.

According to USCRI, its mission is “To protect the rights and address the needs of persons in forced or voluntary migration worldwide and support their transition to a dignified life.” The organization provides legal, health, and children’s services, residential care, and resources to fight human trafficking for those navigating difficult circumstances.

You can support USCRI’s meaningful work in several ways: fundraising, sponsorship, offering employment opportunities, and, of course, donations.
