2BD - 2 Be Determined[EP. 68] Ignoring all Opposition (ft. No Arena Wash Square West)Residents of Washington Square West in Philadelphia have spoken. They support Chinatown’s struggle against the arena. So why did its civic association stay silent? We are joined this week by No Arena Wash Square West. A collective of neighbors fighting to have their voices and research heard, we dive into the impact of the billion dollar Center City project that is “76 Place.” ———————————————— FOR MORE on the group, follow @noarenawashsquarewest on Instagram, and visit noarenawashsquarewest.com to get involved.

Tender Buttons024 Ellena Savage: Anti-MemoirIn this episode, we speak to author and essayist Ellena Savage.

We discuss w...2023-01-3051 min
