Women have always lead the way on environmental issues, including in the fight for water in Flint, Detroit, and Appalachia, because of the inherent connection between care for family, for community, and for the natural world.

How do we talk about the way that race and class shape access to water in the United States? Our storytellers in this episode illuminate this question by detailing how their personal and cultural histories drive their work for clean and affordable water.

In the second episode of the season, we share the timeline of events that lead to the water crises in Flint, Michigan and Martin County, Kentucky. One central through-line in both stories points to how science and knowledge were manipulated and ignored at the outset, but were harnessed by citizens in defense of their own well-being.

This episode connects environmental health to human health through an introduction to several key voices from the frontlines of the fight for water in Flint, Detroit, and Appalachia.

This is the trailer for the third season of Moral Courage Radio, "Poison and Power: The Fight for Water."

In the final episode of our season, we hear from fronterizas who show us the way forward -- as a nation -- by committing to what's right, fighting for what they believe in, and making a difference in their community.

As we lurch from crisis to crisis and headline to headline, organizers and activists on the US-Mexico border dig in with a long-term strategy to build a foundation that supports the dignity and consciousness of immigrant communities.

At Hugs Not Walls, families separated by border policies get three minutes to reunite, embrace, and then return to their sides and their lives apart.

In this episode, we learn from community leaders on the US-Mexico border who express their faith in public by living in solidarity with the poor and the migrant.

This episode documents ways in which the border interrupts love and human connection, while also making it necessary for people to rethink and reform what it means to be a part of a family.
