WOOC’s Luke Weber and Dave Pueblo were there to cover this event. Also hear about the group Bethlehem Indivisible has the aim of encouraging policies in the town that are pro-environment, pro-choice and anti-hate. This year they are working to help Bethlehem create a new comprehensive plan that will encourage more affordable housing and diversity. Moses Nagel for WOOC looked into this initiative and what they are recommending for the town.
