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.
This episode features stories about a bill that would stop Philadelphia from sending trash to be burned at incinerators, a visit to a Michelin-recognized restaurant that uses its drinks menu to honor Black history and culture and a conversation about the impact of Trump administration policies on the LGBTQIA+ community in the region with ACLU of PA senior organizer Naiymah Sanchez and Dena Stanley, executive director of Trans YOUniting and co-founder of the Pittsburgh Pride Group
Sheila Lorrett Emerson and Crystal Herrera hosted this episode, and Campbell Simmons was our board operator.
