With the state legislature returning to Albany through early June, a key issue is whether they will pass the Packaging Reduction and Recycling Infrastructure Act. Localities and taxpayers are stuck footing the bill for managing the growing flood of packaging waste. From a May 2 news conference, we hear from Judith Enck of Beyond Plastics; Ulster County Executive Jen Metzger; and Jumaane Williams, the NYC Public Advocate. This has been Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.

While Dismantling Injustice is taking a brief summer break, the Envision Freedom staff is curating a “Staff Picks” series, where we are sharing some of our favorite episodes from this past season. This week our Research & Advocacy, Zoë Adel Perry shares our conversation on the criminalization of mental health—a topic that is, unfortunately, as relevant today as it was when we released this episode in January. Whether it's the police shooting Raul de a Cruz in the Bronx or the vigilante murder of Jordan Neely on the subway, it's clear that violence in response to individuals experiencing mental health crises has been normalized. On this episode, Carl was joined by Jeffrey Severe from the NYC Public Advocate's Office to share Public Advocate Jumaane Williams' concerns with how we deal with mental health as a city and how we support solutions that lead to care and treatment, not violence. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dismantlinginjustice/support

TW: Mention of suicide Access to effective and affordable mental healthcare has long been an issue in New York, recently rising to a higher profile in the wake of the pandemic and, most recently, Mayor Eric Adams' proposed plan to involuntarily hospitalize people who appear mentally ill. Carl sits down with Jeffrey Severe from the NYC Public Advocate's Office to discuss the criminalization of mental health in NYC. Jeffrey shares Public Advocate Jumaane Williams' concerns with Adams' plan and offers alternative solutions for mental healthcare that do not contribute to incarceration and community destabilization. Together, they discuss why jails and policing solutions will never lead to the safe and compassionate mental health treatment that New Yorkers desperately need.

Inspiring and cogent, Jumaane Williams, our NYC Public Advocate, reacts to Biden's visit and breaks down Mayor Adams Blueprint to End Gun Violence and urges the city to ‘structuralize' the plan by creating and funding structures that address the root causes of gun violence and reduce or eliminate the means to resort to it. Acknowledging the need for co-ordinated City , State and Federal responses to gun violence, Jumaane reminds us that the struggle to end violence has a long human history while calling us to a moral imperative to stop these preventable killings here and now. From the streets of New York City to the Halls of the Supreme Court, Jumaane keeps it real and lays out the need for city, state and federal governance committed to public safety. Jay W. Walker interviews NYC Public Advocate Jumaane Williams with co-hosts and producers Libby Edwards and Sarah Germain Lilly.

We sat down with Attorney Manny Alicandro, whose extensive work on Wall Street in Compliance and Regulation and passion to improve the way of life in his hometown of New York City, is what motivated him to throw his hat into the political ring. With vast corporate experience and various degrees including an MBA from MIT, Manny ran on the Republican/Conservative ticket for NY Attorney General and then, for NYC Public Advocate. Although defeated, Manny has not given up on serving in public office. We talked about his positions on pertinent issues such as immigration and the homeless and the negative transformation he has seen NYC go through. Running as a Republican in a very Democratic territory, which is something he always has to defend, Manny is strategizing his next move, a very interesting discussion.
