CBC Series: Bonds From Change w/ Donna Edwards

In honor of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) Foundation’s 50th year of servitude to the Black community, we interviewed 5 of its representatives, four of whom are currently serving districts across the United States. 

“I’m hopeful because I do think that we have a resilient system and the mechanisms in place to push back on people who are challenging democracy. But it also requires an engaged citizenry.”

Former Congresswoman Donna Edwards speaks with Rev Yearwood in the conclusion of the “CBC Series” about climate infrastructure, enacting policy that will reshape lives, philanthropy, and finding organizations to fund.

We caught up with her to discuss climate change in the Carribean, connecting climate and social justice, and online vs offline activism. Listen now!
