Things To Do In Beacon Guides 6/21/2024

Good news for this hot Friday slip and slide into the weekend! Columbia University has dropped trespassing charges against several protesters who took over a building on campus to rename it Hind's Hall. Hind was the little Palestinian girl who was trapped in her family's car after Israeli IDF killed everyone in it, as well as the Red Crescent EMS workers who tried to save her. The news was begrudgingly shared by past Dutchess County Executive, Marcus Molinaro, who was quite bummed about the trespassing charges on Columbia students being dismissed. Marcus is one of several New York Congresspeople who have accepted money from Israel's lobby in the United States, AIPEC, as reported for ALBB by Arvind Dilawar months ago. Stay tuned to our sister company, Tin Shingle, for an upcoming TuneUp with the photojournalist Alexa Blair Wilkinson, who was based in Beacon and then moved to Newburgh. With the rising cost of rent and all. Tin Shingle will also be interviewing Katie's cousin, Sarah Alami, the Palestinian American actress and activist who was in Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3. On ALBB's Instagram, Sarah commented: "Systemic racism is so deeply hard wired many people don’t even know that this is why they find brutal acts like this acceptable or justifiable. The good news is there is evidence that the brain can be adaptable. People can unlearn behavior. Even if it’s racism. However, we don’t have time for people to adapt to being better humans. This is why we need to educate now. " While you read all the things, you also have a new movie to watch tonight to decompress!
