In a press release NYSNA warned that "health disparities in Brooklyn are climbing at an alarming rate," adding: "Low income communities, people of color, and the uninsured have fewer and fewer options for receiving care. Interfaith Medical Center is the only full-service hospital in Bed-Stuy, a federally designated healthcare provider shortage area. Meanwhile, SUNY's unlawful attempts to close LICH have created chaos for patients throughout Brooklyn, increasing ER wait times and putting lives at risk."
Critics charge that the State University of New York, which manages both LICH and Inter-Faith is restructuring itself in order to maintain profitability as the Affordable Care Act imposes $10 billion in funding that hospitals receive for treating the uninsured. For background, read Peter Rugh's article "Battle for LICH Brooklyn Hospital Escalates" on www.occupy.com/article/battle-brooklyn-hospital-escalates

NYC, July 24, 2013: Protesters blocked the Brooklyn Bridge twice today as part of the Funeral March for Brooklyn Healthcare. The demonstration, organized by the New York State Nurses Association (NYSNA) and 1199SEIU, protested the looming closures of hospitals in Brooklyn, including Long Island Community Hospital (LICH) and Interfaith Medical Center.
In a press release NYSNA warned that "health disparities in Brooklyn are climbing at an alarming rate," adding: "Low income communities, people of color, and the uninsured have fewer and fewer options for receiving care.

For most of the time, the protest commanded control of whatever streets it took, and police avoided making arrests. This suddenly ended as the march moved into the Upper East Side, when police made several arrests, used pepper spray, and divided the march into several groups.
Nonetheless, many continued marching to Harlem and the Bronx, and many more joined the protest along the way. It was clear that many had never been to a protest before, and felt empowered by the experience.

Kamani Gray was gunned down the night of Saturday, March 9 by two plainclothes police officers who claimed the 16-year-old boy had pointed a gun at them. Eyewitnesses said Kimani was unarmed and that the police continued to fire at him after he had fallen, and then threatened them, the witnesses in turn. http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/2013/03/kimani_gray_4.php The two cops had a history of brutality and falsifying evidence http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/brooklyn/cops-killed-kimani-gray-named-federal-lawsuits-article-1.1290342#ixzz2NfWgKBb6 , and their claim of self-defense was made all the more dubious when the coroner revealed that 3 of the 7 fatal bullets came from the rear http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/14/nyregion/teenager-killed-by-new-york-police-was-shot-7-times.html?_r=1&. Nonetheless, as comments on our previous uploads have made clear, many people's views of this story are colored by the initial reports in the mainstream media, that ran with the cops' version of the event, and publicized the boy's criminal record.
To help tell the true story of Kimani Gray, including its context of police-community relations in communities like East Flatbush, Occupy TV New York is making a documentary envisioned as a narrative told by many voices, most of them residents of East Flatbush.

The nearly hour-long series of speakouts was dominated by RCP members, to the visible annoyance of #BrooklynProtest regulars. Conflicts erupted between members of the RCP on the one hand and members of the New Black Panther Party and #BrooklynProtest organizers Fatimah Shakur and Jose LaSalle on the other.
At 5:15 Fatimah Shakur screams in the face of RCPer Travis Morales by their table, to the amusement of the police.
At 7:07 Josh Einiger of ABC's Eyewitness News attempts an interview with Fatimah Shakur, failing to recognize her, and assuming she is an East Flatbush member angered at "outside agitators" in general. ABC actually used their snippet of footage and cast Shakur's words into this imagined context, completely misrepresenting her. http://bit.ly/14kzSDD
At 9:52 RCPer Jamel Mims defends the RCP's newspaper sales, citing the Black Panthers as precedent.

Two months after Superstorm Sandy the disaster is not over and relief needs are still great. Homes are uninhabitable with black mold taking hold, heat and electricity are still absent in many places. Yet the government response has been glaringly absent. As with Katrina and other recent disaster-and-recovery events city, state and federal agencies have handed off reconstruction resources and responsibility to corporations and markets. That hand-off has pushed affected people further out of their communities, further into crisis and vulnerability, and further from the decision-making tables that allocate public resources. Where government has failed, Occupy and other groups stepped in. But we now understand that climate change has turned a corner: we will be hard hit again by extreme weather events. And so we ask whose interests our government serves? Is it polluters, predatory lenders, and disaster profiteers? Or can we build a stronger, better, resilient New York where all of us, regardless of race, class or power, can weather future storms?
