Indy Audio

We hear first from housing activists who are lambasting the pro-landlord/anti-tenant provisions in the state budget deal that New York Gov, Kathy Hochul announced on Friday following weeks of closed-door negotiations with State Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins and Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie. Then, we speak with Indypendent photographer Neil Constantine. Constantine was arrested yesterday while covering a massive pro-Palestine Tax Day protest as it crossed the Brooklyn Bridge. We also get updates on the growing worldwide movement to end the genocide in Gaza and the occupation in Palestine. In our final segment, we speak to Cynthia Carter, President of UAW Local 2330 here in New York which represents legal aid workers who have been on strike for the past 8 weeks.
