America, Racism & the Environment


Listen Later

In this audio documentary-style episode, Joelle Weir will be diving into the history of the environmental movement, and how the exclusion of POC voices is detrimental to the environment as well as the social spaces we live in. This includes a special feature from Dr. Malini Ranganathan. This story brings to light the intersectionality between racism and the environment from an American perspective. Enjoy :)
