Sam Krop takes the lead on this interview with two inspiring climate justice activists about their work supporting the city of Eugene, Oregon in achieving a just transition away from so-called “natural” or fracked gas.

Avery Temple is a student, community organizer and Latina activist working on racial justice and climate justice issues. Avery currently works for Cascadia Wildlands and is a co-lead on the Fossil Free Eugene campaign.

Ana Molina is a Latina environmental justice activist and advocate, wanting racial and climate justice for our BIPOC communities.  Ana is also the Statewide Environmental Justice Manager for Beyond Toxics.

Ana and Avery discuss the campaign, the issues with fracked gas, why this is a racial justice issue, the shady tactics of the fracking industry, what an exciting and visionary just transition looks like and how people can get involved.
