On Saturday, April 27, Albany Jewish Voices for Peace hosted a Seder for Gaza in Washington Park to mark the Passover Holiday and draw connections between the exodus of the Jews and the suffering going on no in Gaza. Moses Nagel spoke to Ava Agree of JVP about the event.

With the state legislature returning to Albany through early June, a key issue is whether they will pass the Packaging Reduction and Recycling Infrastructure Act. Localities and taxpayers are stuck footing the bill for managing the growing flood of packaging waste. From a May 2 news conference, we hear from Judith Enck of Beyond Plastics; Ulster County Executive Jen Metzger; and Jumaane Williams, the NYC Public Advocate. This has been Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.
