On Tuesday, April 29, the New York Immigration Coalition (NYIC), member organizations, and elected officials rallied at the State Capitol's Million Dollar Staircase in support of the New York For All Act. The Act is a landmark piece of legislation that would prohibit state and local government agencies, including law enforcement, from collaborating with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE. We hear from the two emcees, Cassandra Bocanegra of NYIC and Iridian Riccobono Lucas of the Columbia County Sanctuary Movement, followed by Assemblymember Karines Reyes, the lead sponsor of the bill; Jax a teenager from an immigrant family with Make the Road New York; Assemblymember Amanda Septimo; and Jessica Maxwell of the Workers Center of Central New York.

The killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson has created a conversation about the health insurance industry. One consistent problem we’ve been hearing from community members is how often their claims or pre-authorizations are denied, even when their doctors say the procedures are necessary. We spoke with Diane K. Spicer, supervising attorney at the nonprofit Community Health Advocates, on what to do if you receive an insurance claim or pre-authorization denial.

In the Spring of 2021, dozens of immigrant New Yorkers, mostly women, launched a hunger strike that lasted 23 days and was the climax of a campaign to win an unprecedented $2.1 billion relief package for workers who had been excluded from unemployment benefits, federal stimulus checks, and rent relief. At the time, many thought the campaign's demands were out of reach, but as our guests Ángeles Solis and José Lopez of Make the Road New York explain, years of base-building made this seemingly impossible victory a reality — one that spawned similar demands in eleven other states. Founded in 1997, Make the Road New York, as José says, “focuses on the intersecting challenges that working-class and immigrant New Yorkers face every single day” — and with 27,000 members, it has become a powerful force for justice in the state. During the pandemic, a quarter of Make the Road New York members could not afford to pay rent or put food on the table, and ninety lost their lives. But desperation fueled a bold project of relational organizing, recruiting people in food pantries, leveraging mutual aid to build power, and calling out billionaire profiteers and tax cheats. Before the interview with Ángeles and José, Deepak and Stephanie contrast the approach to base-building in the labor movement (as covered in episode 3) with base- building in the community organizing tradition, drawing on four principles from legendary organizer Arnie Graf's book Lessons Learned: Stories from a Lifetime of Organizing. They also consider how community organizations can find the right balance between radical vision and practical change in the here and now. Episode 4 transcript

In this week's show, Host John Tarleton takes us through an election-night special edition as voters cast ballots in Democratic and Republican primaries for all statewide offices and all 150 seats in the NY State Assembly. In a heavily Democratic state like New York, the primary is often the race that determines the winner in the general election in November. In this segment, we speak with Ana María Archila, Working Families Party nominee for Lt. Governor who some observers think could pull off the biggest upset of the night. She's a longtime social movement leader with Make the Road New York and the Center for Popular Democracy, which she co-founded. She vowed to make the Lt Gov's office a hub for organizing and pushing the Governor to take more pro-working class positions.

Mar. 19, 2021 - Deborah Axt, Co-Executive Director of Make the Road New York, discussed a budget proposal which is aimed at helping New York's excluded workers.

On episode 30 of “The Activist Files,” Center for Constitutional Rights Senior Staff Attorney Ghita Schwarz and Attorney Chinyere Ezie talked with Make the Road New York's Lead Organizer Eliana Fernandez about the impact organizing played in the two key Supreme Court of the United States' decisions –  Wolf v. Vidal, the decision that preserves Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), which Eliana was a plaintiff, the Bostock/Zarda/Stephens cases, which the Court found that an employer who fires an individual merely for being gay or transgender violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The movement lawyers and activist agreed the organizing and narrative shifting in some of the cases had the justices so worried that the credibility of the court was brought to the forefront. Eliana talks about her brave decision to be a plaintiff in the DACA case – she's a DACA recipient and a mom, who didn't want to be separated from her children. She said Make the Road New York protected her and gave her the tools to empower the movement. And Chinyere, who wrote an amicus brief in Aimee Stephens, of R. G. & G. R. Harris Funeral Homes Inc. v. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and attended the argument, tied this Title VII case to Our Lady of Guadalupe School v. Morrissey-Berru, which held that Catholic elementary school teachers are “ministers,” so they cannot sue their employer for employment discrimination. While Our Lady of Guadalupe is not about LGBTQIA+ rights, it impacts that community because statutes that prohibit discrimination, from age to disability, were not applied to this case because the employer is a religious organization and the employees, who were subject-matter teachers, were classified as “ministers.” Chinyere noted that Our Lady of Guadalupe School v. Morrissey-Berru did not have a large movement behind the case and wonders if the court didn't feel compelled to uphold the anti-discrimination statutes because of the lack of public awareness and involvement.  Resources:·      Altitude Express Inc. v.

Join in on the fun Discord conversations by becoming a Laborwave Patron at patreon.com/laborwave Andrea Haverkamp, president of CGE 6069, joins Laborwave to discuss chapters 5 & 6 of No Shortcuts: Organizing for Power in the New Gilded Age by Jane McAlevey; "If We Can Change the White House, We Can Change the Hog House!" Our conversation highlights the importance of connecting our movement histories to fight against the consistent bracketing of social movements as self-contained and insular phenomenons, making the role of staff transparent and accountable for developing the leadership of the rank-and-file, and also pose some hard questions for the IWW asking why is it so prone to the "one-man organizing show" written about in Organizing Work and what prevents its own policies and structures from being consistently implemented? Chapter 5 analyzes the strategies of UFCW's multiple union campaigns at Smithfield Foods, where in their third round after 10+ years they finally won a union through a deep organizing model that brought in community allies under a banner of social justice to win. Chapter 6 examines the "mobilizing model," with promise, of Make the Road New York, an immigrants rights organization with more than 15,000 dues-paying members. McAlevey argues key ingredients for their success include "high-touch" participatory democracy and power over staff afforded by MRNY members.

Las instalaciones que albergan los históricos Capricorn Sound Studios, en Macon, Georgia, tienen que ver con el sello discográfico, el propio estudio de grabación, un museo, y un espacio de oficinas de la Mercer University. Nadie duda de que es el lugar más apropiado para reencontrar con tus raíces, si estas tienen que ver con el southern rock, como es el caso de BlackBerry Smoke cuyo último proyecto en forma de EP se titula Live From Capricorn Sound Studios. En la selección de sus seis canciones, dos de ellas pertenecen a Idlewild South, el segundo álbum de la Allman Brothers Band, con medio siglo de historia. Son "Midnight Rider" y "Revival", dos temas míticos. En este segundo caso, Charlie Starr y Paul Jackson se han repartido las intervenciones de guitarra de Duane Allman y Dickie Betts, el compositor del tema, y las Black Bettys aportan su poderío vocal en una canción atemporal llena de felicidad. Los tejanos Whiskey Myers se crecieron lo suficiente tras el éxito de su anterior trabajo, Mud, que para su último álbum, con su nombre en el título, decidieron tomar las riendas y prescindir de la producción del casi intocable Dave Cobb. Incluso se repartieron las tareas de composición y contaron también con la ayuda de buenos amigos. Se fueron al Sonic Ranch, cerca de El Paso, en Texas, y se pusieron a trabajar sobre una lista de más de 30 canciones. "Bury My Bones" es una canción que, compuesta por John Jeffers con Tennessee Jet, está inspirada por cómo se sentía a su vuelta de su gira europea del pasado año que pasó por primera vez por España. Ya que hablamos de Tennessee Jet, aquí está la primera muestra sonora de su nuevo álbum, The Country, que aparecerá a primeros de septiembre. Se trata de "Stray Dogs", una pieza narrativa para un artista tejano que está redefiniendo sus ideas sobre la country music desde la perspectiva de la Costa Oeste. Para ello se mudó a California y ahora ha contado con el arrope de la banda de Dwight Yoakam, con el añadido evidente del twang factor a sus propuestas y dejando un tanto de lado sus primitivas influencias de la Outlaw music de Waylon y Willie, e incluso el Bakersfield sound de Merle Haggard. "Stray Dogs" es un tema de tintes autobiográficos que TJ acabó de componer en el propio estudio de grabación y que muestra la tensión y la crudeza de tener que culminar algo inacabado por necesidad. Este tercer álbum del tejano parece haberse convertido en un punto de no retorno con respecto al pasado. Seguimos insistiendo en que el ambiente de Nashville está cambiando y que no todo está perdido. Daniel Donato nació allí hace 25 años y ha aprovechado tan bien el tiempo que se ha convertido en un exquisito instrumentista de su Telecaster que hace un par de años fue nominado por la Americana Music Association en esa categoría. Todavía recuerda que estando en secundaria tocaba en las calles de Lower Broadway ocho horas diarias cada fin de semana y se colaba en el Robert’s Western World para ver a la Don Kelley Band, que le fichó como guitarrista hasta que Paul Cauthen se lo llevó de gira. Con un estilo marinado en todos los clásicos de la country music como Merle Haggard, su favorito, también destila influencias de Grateful Dead en su álbum de debut, como queda perfectamente reflejado en "Luck of the Draw", con trazas de la vieja escuela y algún toque psicodélico. A Young Man's Country, que tiene prevista su salida para el 7 de agosto, fue grabado en el Sound Emporium de Music City con el guitarrista Robben Ford como productor. El incontenible Daniel Romano nos está dejando casi exhaustos en este 2020 con la publicación de hasta seis álbumes… por el momento. Como en el caso de Content to Point the Way, la cuarta de esas entregas, supone una apuesta poderosa por el mejor country rock con evidentes guiños a la herencia atemporal de un mito de la categoría de Gram Parsons, que parece haberle bendecido desde los paisajes de Joshua Tree. El canadiense nativo de Welland, en la provincia de Ontario, grabó este registro con The Outfit, su banda de acompañamiento, como un regreso de tintes sentimentales y decididos al country, consiguiendo una atmósfera llena de melancolía que permite canciones enternecedoras como “Little Shirley Melrose”, gracias a la intervención vocal de Julianna Riolino. Tras el éxito del álbum Desert Dove durante el pasado 2019 que puso en órbita a Michaela Anne, la artista del barrio neoyorquino de Brooklyn, aunque con residencia en Nashville, reclama la esperanza y el optimismo como dos piezas clave para seguir adelante y más aún en momentos como el actual en “Good Times”, su más rotunda novedad con el mensaje de que los "buenos tiempos" están a la vuelta de la esquina. De nuevo su buen amigo Sam Outlaw está a su lado, profundizando en ese camino de abarcar fórmulas más amplias que en registros anteriores, aunque no olvida su debilidad por Linda Ronstadt y Emmylou Harris, dos de sus heroínas. En estos momentos de nostalgia seguro que hemos recurrido en varias ocasiones a recuperar algunas grabaciones que tenían un tanto olvidadas. Los artistas de Americana también lo han venido haciendo y encontramos algunos resultados excepcionales. Es el caso de Erin Enderlin, que durante años ha firmado canciones que todo podemos recordar en las voces de Randy Travis, Alan Jackson, Reba McEntire o Lee Ann Womack y que ahora ha preferido evocar una canción de 1987 como "Fishin 'In The Dark", que la Nitty Gritty Dirt Band incluyó en su álbum Hold On y que supuso su última visita a la cima de las listas. Para esta nueva versión, Erin Enderlin ha contado con la guitarra de uno de sus miembros fundadores, Jeff Hanna. Tras lanzar dos álbumes y un EP, Enderlin publicó el pasado año Faulkner County, que hace referencia a su tierra natal de Arkansas. La pasada semana recordábamos que Kelsey Waldon está nominada a los premios de la Americana Music Association en la categoría de Artista Emergente del Año. Ella cantó sobre sus orígenes en "Kentucky, 1988", uno de los momentos más personales de su álbum White Noise/White Lines y ahora ha querido regresar a su pueblo de Monkey’s Eyebrow para recordar sus primeros pasos, sus problemas familiares y las dificultades para resolverlas, desnudas y elocuentes. Ese trabajo, publicado en año pasado, supuso que tras 15 años sin hacerlo el sello Oh Boy firmara a un nuevo artista. Todo fue gracias al ahora desaparecido John Prine, que confió en la fortaleza de esta cantante y compositora de tintes rurales que ya había editado dos álbumes de forma independiente en 2014 y 2016. La última canción grabada por John Prine, "I Remember Everything", se ha convertido en directamente en No. 1 de la lista de ventas de canciones digitales de Billboard en el apartado de rock, suponiendo la más alta repercusión popular como intérprete del legendario músico, fallecido en Abril a consecuencia de la Covid-19. El tema, producido por Dave Cobb, fue grabado en la sala de estar de Prine el año pasado y no se había dado a conocer hasta que concluyó el homenaje virtual Picture Show: A Tribute Celebrating John Prine, en el que intervinieron Kacey Musgraves, Vince Gill, Bonnie Raitt, Margo Price, Sturgill Simpson, Jason Isbell y Amanda Shires, entre otros. Gracias a su emisión se ha recaudado recaudado casi medio millón de dólares para NAMI, Alive, Make the Road New York y MusiCares. Ayer se editó Monovision, el nuevo trabajo de Ray LaMontagne, lo que significa un distanciamiento con respecto a sus últimas grabaciones y una vuelta a las formas de los contadores de historias de los 70 recobrando los elementos comunes sobre la disidencia. Hay un cierto encuentro de consuelo y tranquilidad en las cosas simples y en las personas cercanas. Su tema de apertura, "Roll Me Mama Roll Me", es la primera invitación del músico de New Hampshire a recrearnos en una calidez relajante envuelta en pura artesanía sonora que nos permite volver a las raíces. La escucha en la radio de "Treetop Flyer" del álbum Stills Alone de Stephen Stills fue lo que impulsó a Ray LaMontagne a convertirse en cantautor. Lo descubrió un ejecutivo de RCA mientras teloneaba a John Gorka y Jonathan Edwards y sus maquetas, grabadas de nuevo, vieron la luz con el título de Trouble en 2004. Ahí empezó todo. Ayer se editaba el nuevo álbum de Will Hoge Tiny Little Movies, tras una batería de protestas viscerales que dieron forma a American Dream. El artista de Nashville no ha perdido su sentido crítico, ni endulza temas complicados como en el caso de una ruptura desordenada, que es el motivo de "Even the River Runs Out of This Town". Mantiene su crudeza, el tono reflexivo de su voz y nos hace comprender cuando las batallas están perdidas, siempre con algún acento que nos recuerde a Bob Seger, John Mellencamp o Tom Petty, y en ocasiones nos traiga a la memoria a Neil Young y sus Crazy Horse ya que Will Hoge grabó Tiny Little Movies con su banda de acompañamiento en las giras. En septiembre de 2008, Old Crow Medicine Show grababan su tercer álbum de estudio, Tennessee Pusher, con la producción de Don Was. En aquel momento, una canción como “Motel In Memphis” pudo pasar inadvertida ante la importancia que los críticos dieron a temas como "Methamphetamine", pero Ketch Secor ha querido ahora concederle la notoriedad que merece volviendo grabarla y añadiendo un vídeo que hace referencia al Lorraine Motel en el que fue asesinado en 1968 Martin Luther King. Ketch Secor ha vuelto a contar con la formación más habitual del presente de Old Crow Medicine Show, que incluye a Molly Tuttle en la guitarra acústica, Cory Younts a la mandolina, Robert Price con el banjo y Morgan Jahnig como bajista y Jerry Pentecost en la batería. Con ellos nos citamos para mañana en la sintonía de Radio 3. Escuchar audio

Immigrant Long Islanders are being hard-hit by the pandemic. Episode 16 of “Life Under Coronavirus” is an interview with Make the Road New York organizer Ana Flores. The Brentwood resident and immigrant from El Salvador talks about COVID-19 affecting close-knit households and the difficult situation for day laborers, factory and construction workers: work has dried up or puts them in danger of the disease, and staying home means a brutal loss of income.“It's not unknown that, you know, it's difficult to be an immigrant in this country,” Flores says. “We've seen that historically. But we're really taking a hit during this time.”

If you work in healthcare, food distribution, delivery services, telecommunications, and other fields deemed "essential." We take calls from folks in those jobs on their safety concerns. And, to answer those questions, an occupational safety official and a workplace justice advocate. Elizabeth Joynes Jordan, supervising attorney on the Workplace Justice Team at Make the Road New York, and Charlene Obernauer, executive director at The New York Committee for Occupational Safety and Health (NYCOSH), talk about how essential workers, on the front lines of the pandemic, can best stay healthy, and what they can demand from their employers in terms of protective gear and paid sick leave.

In this session, originally recorded on February 26, 2020, we look at how to build democratic power for change. Our speaker for this session is Michal Hay, the Founding Executive Director of Progress Toronto. As an organizer, her focus is on bridging the gap between people and the political power needed for progressive change. Our cities are becoming increasingly unaffordable and income inequality is widening faster than ever before. People, communities, and an entire generation are being squeezed out. The decisions made in the halls of power can either take us down a more progressive path or deepen the divide. Unfortunately, many decision-makers are removed from the day-to-day experiences of the people they represent. So how can we influence and shape the decisions being made? What power do we have to create meaningful change and transform our cities? In this Five Good Ideas session, Michal Hay shares her experiences on building power, winning, and making change. She offers five good ideas for building democratic power to win. Five Good Ideas 1. The power we have is people 2. Our power increases as our numbers increase, and for that to truly/deeply happen we need distributed leadership 3. Invest in building power. That means training people and giving them the opportunity to apply the skills and lead 4. Share your strategy, goals, and priorities with people to help train and motivate them 5. Every campaign is an opportunity build power and ideally to build on what was built before Resources 1. Movement School’s Campaign Fellows.

In 2008, the collapse of the US financial system plunged the economy into the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. Between 2008 and 2009, the U.S. labor market lost 8.4 million jobs – 6.1% of all payroll employment – and the average household brought in roughly $5,000 less in 2009 than it did in the year 2000. Since then, the wealth gap has only gotten worse: the top 10 percent now averages nearly nine times as much income as the bottom 90 percent. It should be no surprise, then, that Americans feel disenchanted. From Occupy Wall Street and more recent racial and economic movements to the left and right populisms of the 2016 election, Americans across the ideological spectrum are increasingly concerned by the concentration of both private and public power. Are our post-election politics on the precipice of change? According to Democracy Against Domination, a new book by New America fellow K. Sabeel Rahman, today's inequality crisis will only be solved with a complete overhaul of how we govern the modern economy. New forms of democratic action – strategies that tap into contemporary labor and racial justice movements – will be necessary to counteract both the legacies of the New Deal era and the problems of corporate power, too-big-to-fail finance, and political dysfunction today. On the evening following Election Day, join New America NYC to evaluate the economic policies of the past eight years and what the next Administration can do to turn today's "New Gilded Age" into a more responsive, inclusive economy.

YEA MAN! Podcast Ep. 9 The Road, New York City & RIP Rory Hill. by Rodrigo Torres Jr

A couple of weeks ago I followed my friend Jenevieve to work. Jenevieve works for Big City Walls, an institution, that coordinates murals with youth organizations in schools across New York City. She recently completed a mural at the corner of Knickerbocker and Myrtle avenues with teenagers and young adults aged 13-21 from the Bushwick area of Brooklyn. The mural took four weeks to complete, from conceptualization to realization, and was funded by several organizations including Make the Road New York, CopWatch and Big City Walls itself. The role of such community outreach associations is to bring awareness and help to kids and their families on topics such as educational, immigration and housing justice, youth programs, and police brutality, which are relevant to the Bushwick population. In this podcast episode you will hear Jenevieve, her coworker Emilia and their students discussing the themes pictured on the mural and how they apply to the students personal lives.
