The Indypendent News Hour on WBAI-99.5 / 7 Feb. '23
We spend the first half of the show with WBAI\u2019s very own Rachel Hu. She is the co-host of Covert Action, which airs on Wednesdays mornings from 9-10 a.m. She is also a managing editor at Breakthrough News, an independent media project that uplifts critical voices of resistance nationally and internationally. Breakthrough News has a recently-launched program, Breakthrough Disruptors, that brings together media makers and activists. Rachel joins us to talk about that and movement media.\n\nIn the second half of the show, we speak with New York City Councilmember Chi Oss\xe9, elected in 2021 at the age of 23 as the youngest-ever member of the council. He played an important role in organizing BLM protests during the George Floyd uprising in NYC and has been one of the forceful voices in the City Council that has pushed back against Mayor Adams' austerity initiatives.
