On the day a new Congress convenes in Washington D.C., a “People’s Congress” is being held in western Massachusetts.  Activists from more than a dozen local social justice organizations are holding a public forum at the First Churches of Northampton.  WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill spoke with Paki Wieland of Raging Grannies, which is sponsoring the event along with the American Friends Service Committee.

The record-setting tenure of Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno. The 2011 tornado and its recovery that remade the largest city in Western Massachusetts. The fallout from the deadly COVID outbreak at the Holyoke Soldiers Home. Those are just a few of the thousands and thousands of stories WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill has covered for WAMC in his nearly 17 years with the station.
