WGXC Afternoon Show: Iridian Lucas Garcia (Audio)

Oct 21, 2022

Columbia County Sanctuary Movement (CCSM) organized for the Excluded Worker Fund campaign. This work made it even more apparent that the NYS system is unjust and fails many workers. The Excluded No More program came out of this work. Iridian Lucas Garcia of CCSM spoke with WOOC's Sina Basila Hickey about the Excluded No More legislation which will make it possible for NYS's most vulnerable workers to get access to unemployment compensation, no matter what they do for a living or where they're from. www.sanctuarycolumbiacounty.org/fund-excl…d-workers

The show features local news, interviews with community leaders and personalities, a rundown of local and regional events, weather updates, and more about and for the community. The show is a place for a community conversation about issues, with music, and more. Saturday the emphasis is more on radio art, and art on the radio. Unlike shows by individual programmers on the station, the "WGXC Afternoon Show" is considered partially station-run. The Sunday version calls itself "Li Le, Le Tan."
