THE DEFINITIVE RAP: Bridging Our Diverse Communities Interview with Mark Appel

There are few true heroes in our midst. The people who stick their necks out to help others, and who do it not for money or fame, but because they truly care to help those whom nobody cares about. Those are the unsung heroes.  Here on the Definitive Rap we bring the truth to the forefront. We respect people of all faiths, and we believe in America, and Justice For All. Our guest today, Mark Appel, lives and breathes for peace and justice. Baila Sebrow, producer and host of The Definitive Rap sat down with Mark Appel, a long-time advocate who has dedicated his life to advancing civil rights for all Americans and bridging the divide between different communities.  Mark started by giving a detailed account of his background, and explained how he became such a successful advocate for so many years.  He talked about how he spent ten years rallying the support for the bill called the passage of the Child Victims Act, a great victory for all victims of sex abuse. Mark explained his motivation to address the challenge of bringing multicultural communities and people together, to form The Bridge Multicultural and Advocacy  Project, a unity center that aims to address issues across cultural lines, and advocates for transformational change in New York’s diverse communities. *WATCH THIS INTERVIEW   This podcast has been graciously sponsored by JewishPodcasts.fm.
