Analyzing The Landmark Decision
Holding Stop & Frisk Unconstitutional
with
Samuel Walker, criminal justice expert, witness in the historic trial

Judge Scheindlin's decision confirms what the communities subject to
being stopped and frisked  already knew, the NYPD's Stop & Frisk program
violates the constitutional rights of Black and Latino New Yorkers every day. 
Samuel Waker, takes us through Judge Scheindlin's voluminous decision to
discuss what a monitor can do, what they’ve done in other states, and Judge
Shindler’s other recommendations included in her decision and still others
that institutionalize the attack on racial profiling.  We’ll also discuss AG Eric
Holder’s comments on minimum sentencing and criminal justice reform.

As a Jazz and Blues stylist, and committed artist, Ms. Blu resurrects and

reconceives, every old, new or original rendition with "liquid soul." Her

compelling voice is New York's best-kept musical secret   and the secret

will be out on Building Bridges – we’ll feature this extraordinary songstress.

Nurses and Community Struggle to Save Dying Brooklyn Hospitals
with
Jill Furillo, RN, Ex . Dir ., NYS Nurses Association (NYSNA) 
Maribel Agosto, RN, Long Island College Hospital
Ari Moma, RN,  Interfaith Medical Center
 
The struggle coninues to prevent the closing of two Brooklyn Hospitals,
Long Island City Hospital in  Cobble Hill  and Interfaith Medical Center in
Bedford-Stuyvesant.  Both serve an area where  more than 250,000 people
live, many of them poor and uninsured  who depend on those facilities.
There are more hospitals in Brooklyn and throughout  NYC which are in
desperate straights and  advocates are proposing a new system of state
funding  to save community hospitals.
