S4E3: Southern Environmental Justice with Nina Morgan

Welcome four the fourth season of Climate Justice, Ya'll! We're revisiting the conversation with Nina Morgan from season 1 episode 7 "Nina Morgan on Climate & Environmental Justice in Alabama" After listening to this episode, go listen to the first part of the conversation. Whether you're a new listener, or have been with us for a while, it's a great conversation to revisit. Environmental justice (EJ) is the principle that everyone deserves clean air, water, and land no matter their background, location, or income. Environmental injustice refers to a set of actions, intentional or otherwise, that places the burden of pollution on marginalized communities. Birmingham, Alabama, like many communities across the south and the nation, is negatively impacted by environmental pollution. In this episode, co-hosts Mareshah Malcom and Abigail Franks catch-up with local organizer Nina Morgan, where they revisit past lessons from their previous conversation and integrate new wisdom about the intersectionality of environmental justice, social justice, and a livable climate future for southerners and international citizens.
