On Friday May 6, a Missing and Murdered Indigenous People’s Awareness March will take place in Hudson. In preparation for this march, Forge Project partnered with artists Demian DinéYazhi' (Diné) of R.I.S.E. and Korina Emmerich (Puyallup) to host a drop-in protest poster- and banner-making workshop at Art Omi. Sina Basila Hickey spoke with the artists to get more information. These groups and the larger community will be gathering at the Henry Hudson Riverfront Park around 5:30 PM and lead Indigenous activists and allies starting at 6 PM in a march along Warren Street, which will end with remarks at City Hall around 7 p.m. (about one mile).

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. The Catskill Makers Syndicate produce the "Better Weather" for the show. Rob Gelles produces the Columbia County history segment "Rob Around The County" and "This Month in History" for the show. And Jack Sencabaugh contributes the "Backtracks in Time" segment about local history. Some reports come from our partner station, WOOC-LP in Troy, out of The Sanctuary for Independent Media. Tom Roe also cuts up local and national news with songs and sounds for the show. At 9 a.m. "The WGXC Daily," with local headlines, weather, and previews of community events, airs. Also tune in for national headlines from the Public News Service on WGXC. Sometimes national, state, or local press conferences, meetings, or events are also broadcast live here.
