Description

Columbia University officials say they’ll continue negotiating with student protestors for the next 48 hours as protests on the school’s West Lawn continue. Meanwhile, New York City Mayor Eric Adams praises the new housing measures out of Albany as a big win for New York City. Plus, millions of New Yorkers are exposed to dangerous air pollutants each year, and the climate crisis only threatens to make it worse. The American Lung Association recently published its annual ‘State of the Air’ report on Wednesday. WNYC’s Michael Hill speaks with Trevor Summerfield, the New York advocacy director for the American Lung Association, to break down the findings. Finally, WNYC’s Community Partnerships Desk is highlighting hidden gems across New York City, like a Queens bookshop that exclusively sells BIPOC literature to reflect the community around it.
