Al Gore's Climate Reality Project convened a leadership training in Atlanta this month with a new focus on faith and social justice. Over 300 attendees were leaders and activists from North Carolina, including several from the Poor People's Campaign. A few of them spoke with us about what moved them at the workshop and where the climate justice fight goes next.
Plus, an interview with Jamie Cole - a North Carolina attorney and environmental justice advocate named to Grist's Top 50 green innovators and influencers to watch in 2019. She's making a difference as a voice for communities traditionally left out of the lawmaking process.
Finally, Kacy Cook, a land conservation biologist with the NC Wildlife Resources Commission, tells us how a new program is giving developers and municipalities the tools and information they need to protect wildlife ecosystems while planning new roads and development projects.
