Description

A new city law will give domestic violence survivors access to free and speedy lock changes within 3 days of filing a report. Also, the New York Heat Act, if passed, will provide an online calculator allowing New Yorkers to see how much they’d save on their energy bill. Plus, former 70’s drug kingpin turned activist, Joseph Hayden, passed away last month. Hayden advocated for marijuana legalization, ending solitary confinement and expanding voting rights for people with criminal records. WNYC’s Samantha Max shares his story. Finally, in 2022 there were 71 domestic violence homicide deaths in New York in a report released by the Mayor’s Office to End Domestic and Gender-Based Violence. WNYC’s Sean Carlson sits with acting commissioner Saloni Sethi to talk about the findings.
