Listen to this 2015 interview, examining avant-garde trombonist David Whitwell's take on Classical Music during the early days of his career.

June 1, 2020Honestly, I think we know by now that it’ll take a combination of things to move forward from this. I’ve been trying to figure out a proper response to George Floyd’s murder - and the subsequent violence against more Black people - while even more Black people die from COVID-19 - and emotionally, I’m spent. The most I can put my mind to right now is spotlighting community-based solutions that I learn about through my work. One of these, is something that directly relates to every New Yorker RIGHT NOW. In a couple of weeks, NYC’s city council is going to finalize $827 million in cuts from the Department of education - and only $50 million from NYPD. They’re trying to make up for an estimated $10 billion tax revenue shortfall from the lockdown.Here's the thing:NYPD's Budget is actually $5.9 BILLIONYou could literally take just $1 Billion of that $5.9 Billion, and make a 9-week summer program that could literally pay ALL 1.1 million public school kids in New York $100/week to just stay out of trouble. I personally would argue that it would probably do just as good a job at preventing crime & keeping are youth safe during quarantine, but with a fraction of the harm done. Here’s how you can make a difference now. If you’d like to see more cuts to NYPD’s budget rather than education and other social services during the quarantine - let the people you elected to make that decision know.Contact your City Council Member, or:Finance Committee Chair Daniel Dromm Email: DROMM@COUNCIL.NYC.GOVOffice: 212-788-7066Twitter: @DROMM25Public Safety Committee Chair Donovan Richards Email: DRICHARDS@COUNCIL.NYC.GOVOffice: 212-788-7216Twitter: @DRICHARDS13---------------#blacklivesmatter #georgefloyd #defundthepolice #abolishthepolice #racialjustice #FTP #Activism #ATP #documentaries #adultswim #shortdocumentaries #newyorkcityFor anyone interested in learning more about our rates or services please visit: https://www.thenoticeblog.com/product...- Paul Notice Like.

In this fourth installment of the #GangDatabase series, we talk to Marnie Lenox & Afrika Owes about the Constitutional and ethical issues surrounding NYPD's use of a gang database.

ATI's & Violence Interrupters are proving to be a healthier more sustainable alternative to predatory policing. Let's take a deep dive into what that looks like in East New York.

Join me, as we journey back to a 2017 Conference at John Jay College, where radical academic David Brotherton and former head of the Latin Kings, Antonio Fernandez aka “King Tone” discuss how they were able to mobilize gang members for social and political good, and what happens when one country “legalizes gangs.”

Recently, New York City has seen a growing number of stories related to gang-related crimes. It's sparking several projects aimed at ridding NYC of gangs for good. But… Who are the people the NYPD call gangsters? In this podcast episode, we ask just that. We take a look, with JustLeadership USA.

I remember visibly shaking when I first heard Taylonn Murphy tell this story. The cruelty and lack of empathy involved in how the officer regarded the boy is exactly the sort of trauma over-policing invites into our neighborhoods. Take a look at the #sneakpeek at one of the latest projects I'm working on with Josmar Trujillo & Alex Vitale about NYPD's #gangdatabase

So #ericholder gave an unusual answer when #stevencolbert asked him about #trump claim that the #obama administration separated families too.Instead of side stepping/diminishing accountability, or giving a non-detailed, “Yes and no, it’s complicated”- he actually launched into a detailed explanation of the immigration policy of the Obama administration, and the evidence to support it.In order words, he wasn’t afraid to talk cold, boring policy - because honestly: Assuming your audience won’t “get it” is costing us real conversations on how to make our lives better as a country.
