Synopsis:

COP CITY: AN ENVIRONMENTAL & HUMAN DISASTER

On our April 22nd show, Priscilla Grim reported her experience in the Weelaunee Forest in Atlanta, where a young, peaceful activist, Tortuguita, was killed by police in January—the first environmentalist so killed in our country. Last week, a caller asked about the proposed proliferation of Cop Cities across the country—reminding us dangerously of the Fusion Centers put into place in the aftermath of 9/11. We called on Priscilla to bring us her perspective. She relates it to what is going on at Riker’s Island and other prisons across the country,

On this episode, we’ll also talk briefly about the New York Independent System Operator’s report on the status of the electric grid, Newark Franciscan Charity’s success in replacing disposable plastics with reusables in their meal program, the danger of tritium and Gov. Hochul’s delay in signing the Save the Hudson bill, and the first public meeting of the Hudson Canyon Marine Sanctuary Commission.
