WHO WE ARE

WORKERS OF THE WORLD TUNE IN! Introducing "Building Bridges: Your Community & Labor Report"

Our beat is the labor front, broadly defined, both geographically and conceptually. We examine the world of work and workers on the job as well as where they live. We examine the issues that affect their everyday lives, with a particular sensitivity towards human rights abuses, environmental concerns and the U.S. drive for global domination. We record their global struggles and provide analysis of their efforts to empower themselves and transform society to provide greater democratic, human, social, political and economic rights. Each program consists of feature stories, generally interviews, within a historical context, often accompanied by sound from demonstrations, rallies or conferences, and complemented and enhanced by poetry and instrumental or vocal -- people's culture.

Over the years Building Bridges has produced a weekly one hour program, Mondays from 7-8 PM EST, covering local, national and international labor and community issues over radio WBAI-Pacifica 99.5 FM in New York. We also produce half hour version, Building Bridges National, which is distribtued to over 40 broadcast and internet radio stations.

Community Seeks Justice For Michael Lembhard, The Latest
African-American Youth To Die By The Hands Of Newburgh Police
With
Lillie Howard, community activist whose grandson was killed by
Newburgh police
and
Juanita King, cousin of Michael Lembhard, killed by Newburgh police

Anger still rages in the latest police killing March 7, in the city of Newburgh,
NY of Michael Lembhard. Governor Cuomo has turned down Newburgh’s
request for a special prosecutor in the case of the fatal shooting. Newburg’s
Mayor, Judy Kennedy meanwhile told a community forum that she and the
City Council will await an Orange County grand jury's verdict before
deciding whether to consider any disciplinary action of their own in the
police shooting death of Lembhard. Meanwhile, the officers involved remain
on administrative leave. The community has been relentless in its pursuit of
justice for Lembhard, vowing never to let it happen again – too many young
people are being lost and Lembhard’s death is the latest in what they claim
is due to police discrimination and brutality towards the African American
community. The community hopes that Lembhard’s death will lead to a
federal probe of the Newburgh police department.
