On “Mornings with Mubarakah,” host Mubarakah Ibrahim spoke with Joanne Goldblum, founder and executive director of the The National Diaper Bank Network, and Janet Stolfi Alfano, executive director of The New Haven Diaper Bank. The three discussed the “invisible sides of poverty:” the lack of clean diapers for babies born at or under the poverty level, how to find and support diaper banks, and how to read — and respond to — poverty statistics within a specific age bracket.
Kica Matos, the director of immigrant rights and racial justice at the Center for Community Change, and Ana Maria Rivera-Forastieri of Junta for Progressive Action joined host Paul Bass on “Dateline New Haven.” They discussed the immigration raids that the city has been bracing for — and bucking against — in the larger context of immigration reform.
