MAIO DE SAL - Guia

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has been sending the asylum seekers to “sanctuary cities” Washington, DC, and NYC for months — without sufficient food, water and medical assistance, say those that are supporting the migrants as they arrive. Since Friday, two buses carrying asylum seekers have arrived from Texas, with a total of 68 passengers. 4,000 immigrants have come from Texas in the last few months.

We are joined by Adriana Phillips, founder of South Bronx Mutual Aid and a member of the NYC ICE watch network. She has been on-the-ground, greeting buses as they arrive from Texas.

Advocates Say that Migrants Arriving from Texas are not Coming to NYC Willingly

First segment: The only way to stop the climate crisis, or at least slow it down, is with organizing. Here in New York, we have a robust climate justice movement. It has been busy of late trying to put New York at the forefront of a Green New Deal. We speak with Jessica Azulay, executive director of the Alliance for a Green Economy. The Alliance’s goal is a prosperous, safe, and healthy New York, fulfilling the promise of conservation, energy efficiency, and safe, clean renewable energy sources to end our state’s reliance on wasteful and environmentally destructive forms of energy. 

Second segment: We are joined by Annie Sprinkle and Beth Stephens, pioneers in the field of ecosexuality (the earth is a living being and spirit, they say). The ecosexuals will be hosting a four-day symposium in the East Village starting on Thursday, June 15, Exploring the Earth as Lover: Ecosex and the City, the idea is to forage new relationships with the environment, engage in human/ non-human collaboration, critique calcified ideologies, and engage in new sexualities—all through the lens of environmentalism that is feminist, queer, sensual, sexual, posthuman, exuberant, and steeped in humor and play.

The Bail Bond Blues by Lydia McMullen-Laird

For this episode of Indystructible, I hung out with Eli Smith, a musician, ethnomusicologist and founder of the Brooklyn Folk Festival. Now in its tenth year, the festival features hundreds of bands from all over the world. There are workshops, open jam sessions and a banjo throwing competition. It’s taking place this year at St. Annes Church from April 6th to the 9th. If you are listening in the New York area, I highly recommend you come down and check it out. You’ll find more details at brooklynfolkfest.com

In this interview Eli and I sat down at his home near the Jalopy Theater in Red Hook, Brooklyn. We discussed the rich history of folk music in New York City, America and the world and the importance of carrying the tradition forward, especially in this day and age.
