Syracuse Speaks: Protests, Policy & Progress

Kevin Kloss/WAER

Syracuse like many other communities across the U.S. has been a scene for large, emotional and diverse protests over police treatment of people of color. On this special edition of Syracuse Speaks, WAER News Director Chris Bolt is joined by Yusuf Abdul-Qadir, Director of the Central New York Chapter of the NYCLU, Pastor Erik Eure from The Promise Land Church, and Sam Rowser, Executive Director of On Point for College.

The conversation includes discussion on their thoughts and reactions to the recent protests in Syracuse, current police policies, and what real change could look like for Syracuse and beyond.
