First segment: A recent spate of budget cuts and faculty firings at Queens College have stoked concerns that a devastating new wave of austerity could sweep across CUNY, the largest urban higher education system in the country. Second Segment: The Earth Church is a radical theater space housed in a former bank building in the East Village. It is home to Reverend Billy and the Church of Stop Shopping Choir. But now it’s also a welcoming center for hundreds of migrants who have been denied essential city services and part of a broader community mobilization in the East Village to aid desperate migrants. Plus, we also get a Gaza Update from co-host Amba Guerguerian.
