"Without Walls," a program of the Center for Disability Services, visited the Sanctuary. The group interviewed each other about the work and hobbies which take up their time, and what they love about their days. This group included Catarina, James, Natalie, Wendy, Deserea, Uriah, Steven, and staff members Joel, Lucy, and Meg.

Iridian Riccobono Lucas of the Columbia County Sanctuary Movement talks with Mark Dunlea of Hudson Mohawk Magazine as to why groups want the NYS Legislature to come back in special session to deal with critical issues such as immigration rights (e.g., New York for All) and shortfalls in programs such as health care due to federal budget cuts.

Today, on the Hudson Mohawk Magazine,

First, members of Troy 4 Black Lives join us to talk about the upcoming rally and ride out taking place on Saturday in Troy to raise awareness around Black and Brown youth being targeted by police for riding bikes without lights.

Then, Mark Dunlea brings us a report from last week’s protest against the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

Later on, on Armao on the Brink, we hear about the Key of Q, an a cappella LBGTQ chorus

After that, we hear about the Palestinian movie Speed Girls being shown on August 1 in Albany by Youth FX

Finally, we finish with a story about ecofeminism.

The Key of Q is a unique cultural organization in the Hudson Valley, an a cappella chorus of LBGTQ and allied singers who perform in civic and often very cool venues such as Opus 40, a monumental earthenware construction in Saugerties. The group’s mission has gotten more controversial since it was founded in 2016 as the Trump administration has made diversity a sin and gender non conformance undesirable. But chorus leaders Teri Gibson and Keri Jadrovski tell Rosemary Armao that audiences are receiving the group more enthusiastically than ever perhaps in defiance and resistance.
