In the second episode of a three part series of Women in the Law, Olivia speaks with Jacqui Patterson, the current Founder and Executive Director of The Chisholm Legacy Project: A Resource Hub for Black Frontline Climate Justice Leadership. Prior to this role, Jacqui spent 11 years as the NAACP Senior Director of the Environmental and Climate Justice Program.
Olivia had the privilege of catching up with Jacqui last Spring, while she was in Gulf Coast Mississippi celebrating their Solar for All Project. Jacqui is a force and leader in the climate justice arena — and although we had a bit of trouble with our audio during our conversation, her commitment and vision for the climate justice movement are loud and clear.
