--Maritza Silva-Farrell, executive director of ALIGN, the Alliance for a Greater New York. ALIGN is one of the groups that participated in a 02 December rally outside of Jeff Bezos’s NYC home to "deliver democracy" and end Amazon’s mass surveillance, deportations, gentrification, dirty energy, monopoly & worker abuse.
--Shams DaBaron, one of the men who has been staying at the hotel Lucerne since earlier this summer when the City moved about 300 unhoused men into the hotel at 76th and Broadway on the affluent Upper West Side as a way to keep homeless people safe during the pandemic. Now the City is caught up in a legal battle as it tries to again move the men, who with good reason don't want to leave.
--Jo Ann Brown one of the health care workers at Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center, a hospital in East Flatbush that is slated to be closed in February. Jo Ann is trying to rally support for keeping the hospital open at least through the pandemic.
