96. Sasha Wijeyeratne on successful organizing against Amazon pushing gentrification in Queens

On the 96th edition of Free City Radio you can listen to a conversation with community organizer Sasha Wijeyeratne speaking on organizing against Amazon pushing gentrification in Queens. Sasha speaks about the broad community coalition in Queens that successfully fought off the push by Amazon corporation to open the H2Q headquarters in Queens. Specifically in this exchange Sasha speaks about why the community organization, CAAAV: Organizing Asian Communities, which is very rooted in Asian residents within the Queensbridge Houses social housing complex, was specifically campaigning against Amazon H2Q due to the ways that the construction of an Amazon corporate logistics operational headquarters in Queens, that was going to be build right beside the Queensbridge Houses social housing project, would have driven a major wave of gentrification. This interview series was recorded with support from the McGill Corporate Accountability Project, for broadcast on @radiockut at 90.3fm For more information on CAAAV: Organizing Asian Communities visit : https://caaav.org Free City Radio broadcasts on Wednesdays at 11am on @radiockut and two new episodes are shared each week through the Free City Radio podcast. Music on this edition is an excerpt of "Birds in Trio" a duet between Lori Goldston and Stefan @spirodon Christoff recently released on Dasa Tapes, full info : https://dasatapes.bandcamp.com/album/punk-equinox
