Around the Block is a community news program from the Block by Block team at WPPM-LP 106.5 FM. On this program we explore issues in the Philadelphia region with voices from the community – with reports from our team of community journalists and live in-studio interviews.
In this episode, we have three segments highlighting topics affecting Hispanic and Latino immigrants in our region… including a look at the impact of the federal government’s policies on non-profits that work with immigrant communities, a story about how the crackdown on immigration is affecting the health of Latinos in the region, and a live conversation with Welcoming Center CEO Anuj Gupta and business immigration attorney Jonathon Grode about what local hospitality businesses can do to protect people under threat from targeted ICE raids.
Alisha Miranda and Meesh Cosares hosted this episode, and Jennifer Robnett was our board operator.
Brad Linder is Radio News Managing Editor for WPPM. Peta Liu is Radio Operations Manager. And Allison Durham is WPPM’s Radio Program Manager.
