b'In this edition of The Indypendent News Hour, we speak with a member of the Flatbush African Burial Ground Coalition about a current struggle to preserve an African burial ground located on the corners of Bedford and Church Avenues in Flatbush, Brooklyn. \\n\\nThen, we turn to some breaking news. This week, the city announced that two safe injection sites in Harlem and Washington Heights that will be run by non-profit harm reduction groups. This much needed addition to our public infrastructure comes after 100,000 ODs resulting in death between April of 2020 and 2021. We will speak with an addiction doctor about the new sites and what it means for New Yorkers. \\n\\nLastly, we pivot to the global scale and speak with author Costas Panayotakis about his new article for The Indypendent, "Omicron Variant Underscores Why We Must Abolish Global Vaccine Apartheid."'
