Coming up on Connections: Thursday, April 9th

First hour: Police-community relations

Second hour: !Soy unica, soy Latina!

In our first hour, a police officer in South Carolina is charged with murder after video shows him shooting an unarmed black man in the back. What now? How did we get here?

The Young Democrats of Monroe County are holding a Community Policing Forum on Monday. The purpose of the event is to highlight the initiatives the RPD has implemented under the Warren administration (reorganization, Clergy on Patrol, etc) but also allow the community to directly ask questions to those leaders. Will the reorganization work? Has the RPD taken the right steps to build a strong relationship with local neighborhoods? In studio:

Rochester Police Department Chief, Michael Ciminelli
RPD Goodman Section Captain Lloyd Cuyler
Rise Up Rochester CEO Cynthia Herriott-Sullivan
Retired Sheriff's Deputy and Former Genesee Valley ACLU Executive Director, Gary Pudup
Monroe County Young Democrats Communications Chair, Tom Morissey

In our second hour... !Soy unica, soy Latina!

This annual event is all about empowering young Latina women. We'll talk about various issues related to that community. In studio:
 

Joann Santos, Latinas Unidas President
Kelly Mullaney, Board and SUSL Committee member
Sady Fischer, SUSL Rally member
Annette Ramos, Executive Director of the Rochester Latino Theater Company
