BY GERARD FLYNN | What can be done to help the beleaguered people of Ukraine after three weeks of a brutal Russian invasion that has killed and injured thousands of civilians?

| The Village Sun
BY GERARD FLYNN | When it comes to making homophobic remarks, City Councilmember Fernando Cabrera has few peers — outside of maybe, state Senator Ruben Diaz. To an interviewer in Uganda in early 2014, the pious Democrat representing District 14 in the Bronx spoke in halo terms of the African nation’s homophobic government — “godly people in power,” as he put it — because of their opposition to gay marriage and abortion.

2015 - Coverage of Crime, Police and Courts

From The Villager, The judge for Coverage of Police, Crime and Courts found The Villager’s entry arresting — enough so to award it second place. The judge was especially impressed by Gerard Flynn’s coverage of a Staten Island march led by Reverend Al Sharpton protesting Garner’s death during a police arrest. “For someone who had followed this story from afar,” the judge commented, “I was hoping for a more intimate look at it, and I wasn’t disappointed. Sharply written and loaded with many heart-wrenching personal experiences, a vivid picture was painted in my mind. Readers learned a lot from this feature.”
