On Wednesday, January 27, 2021, the People’s Campaign for Parole Justice holds a Virtual Statewide Advocacy Day. This show reports on some highlights of the People’s Campaign for Parole Justice launch event where advocates talk about the importance of passing the Elder and Fair and Timely Parole Bills from WOOC's Elizabeth Press. And Michael Golec and Jesse Cimino worked as clinical laboratory technologists and helped develop and perform coronavirus testing at Albany Medical Center during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. In an interview with WOOC's Spencer Keable, Golec and Cimino describe their experience working overtime in the lab to create a testing protocol and how their careers have changed in the past year. And Nickleson Cook of Food Not Bombs, Albany, describes how members like himself work to provide fellow community members with their material needs through solidarity instead of charity. The WGXC Morning Show is a radio magazine show featuring local news, interviews with community leaders and personalities, reports on cultural issues, a rundown of public meetings and local and regional events, with weather updates, and more about and for the community, made mostly through volunteers in the community through WGXC.
