The Indypendent News Hour on WBAI-99.5 FM // 22 April '25

Outraged Americans have been showing up at congressional town halls over the past couple of months to demand that their representatives do more to stand up to Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s dismantling of the federal government. On Aprill 22, New York Congressmember Dan Goldman held a town hall at City Tech College in downtown Brooklyn. The Indy’s John Tarleton reports live from the event. We also speak with James Davis, President of the Professional Staff Congress—the union that represents over 30,000 faculty and staff at the City University of New York—about the struggle to defend the City University of New York and other American colleges and universities from President Trump’s authoritarian takeover.
