Women and Land - How growing up on the land led to a career in environmental justice.

Join me and Kahea Pacheco - a mixed heritage native Hawaiian woman in a conversation about how women’s relationship with the land and resources can uniquely position them to lead on environmental issues. We discuss what environmental violence is and the impact that violence to the land in the form of depleted soil, polluted air and water is detrimental to the health of a community. Kahea also discusses her work at Women’s Earth Alliance and how they are supporting women-led environmental organizations. WEA is beginning its 15th year and has pivoted during the Covid pandemic to provide virtual and online assistance to the women they support.
