sound from this Thursday's rally in Bay Ridge, where immigrant youth are calling for passage of the DREAM Act, a federal bill that would provide greater access to higher education for undocumented immigrants;
the story behind a block party being held Saturday by TRUCE, a Harlem youth program, to save their community garden from destruction by the City, which is planning to build yet another new market-rate high rise building in its place;
