 NYC’s Sugary Beverage Ban
According to Reversing Obesity Task Force, obesity is a leading cause of preventable death, second only to tobacco.  58 percent of adults – or a total of 3,437,000 people – are overweight or obese. The Task force and the Mayor believe setting a maximum size for sugary drinks offered and sold in restaurants and other Food Service Establishments is a way we can change the default and help reacquaint New Yorkers with “human size” portions to reduce excessive consumption of sugary drinks.
 

Special Guest: Michele Simon founder of EatDrinkPolitics.com, a public health lawyer specializing in legal strategies to counter corporate tactics that harm the public’s health and author of Appetite for Profit: How the Food Industry Undermines Our Health and How to Fight Back.

NYPD Ethnic Profiling Practices



Broadcasting Live From



You can listen in online at www.whcr.org, but residents in Harlem, upper Manhattan, the central and lower Bronx and some parts of Queens can tune in on your radio dial at 90.3FM.


And join our conversations on...


The NYPD's Ethnic Profiling Practices

Whether it's African Americans and Latinos via the Stop and Frisk program or spying on Islamic mosques and schools, it seems like the NYPD can't get away from claims of racial and religious profiling tactics.  Is the NYPD keeping us safe or is this an attack on civil rights? Join us as we connect the dots between NYPD's practices of profiling and discuss the Islamic lawsuit against the city.

The Paycheck Fairness Act

Is it fair for women to be paid less than male colleagues in the workplace? Most people would say no, but apparently not enough officials in the U.S. Senate agree.  We'll talk about why Republicans blocked this bill from passing last week and the next steps in the fight against wage discrimination.   Featuring: 
Dr. Mariko Chang, author of Shortchanged: Why women have less wealth & what can be done about it 
and 
Fatima Goss Graves, VP of Education and Employment at the 
National Women's Law Center

War On Drugs in Latin America

We'll also talk about the "War On Drugs" in Latin America, who's funding it and how it affects us. Also, how do we explain the rise in femicide in countries like Honduras, Guatemala and Mexico.
