When Churches Become God’s Crowdsource in the Barrio — José Humphreys
Research demonstrates the great potential behind a concentrated network of people who change their shopping patterns in support and solidarity of small business. Examine how a church in a gentrifying East Harlem has mobilized its congregation to support locally-owned, indigenous establishments, while infusing local business owners with hope and resiliency to endure neighborhood changes.
