 Our most basic public health protections are under attack and our ability to provide input into the decision-making process has been whittled away. This is especially dire for communities of color, low-income communities, and indigenous communities, who already face disproportionate impacts from pollution, sagging infrastructure, and climate change. We had the privilege of discussing these topics and more with special guests, United States Senator, Cory Booker, Greenpeace Executive Director, Annie Leonard, Greenpeace Deputy General Counsel, Deepa Padmanabha, and League of Conservation Voters Senior Vice President of Government Affairs, Tiernan Sittenfeld. Rev. Lennox Yearwood Jr. hosts and Mustafa Santiago Ali joins as a co-host. Recorded live for radio, the episode opens with current events in the climate movement.
