"There is a Clear Divide." The Hidden System of Environmental Racism with Danielle Sipp


Listen Later

In this episode, I have a conversation with Danielle Sipp, a powerful high school activist in Indiana on environmental racism - a topic she is incredibly knowledgeable about. Environmental racism goes so much deeper than surface level, and many aspects of it are hidden in our political system. Throughout the episode, we discuss Dani's personal experiences with environmental racism in Indiana, what exactly it is, what has allowed it to flourish in our society, and what you can do to support the fight against environmental racism.
