POCACITO conversations

by Brendan O'Donnell and Max Gruenig

We’re reflecting on some of the conversations POCACITO was fortunate to be a part of, four of which we want to share with you. Two of these talks took place as part of POCACITO events, and two are one-to-one interviews.One thing that kept coming up is that the critical work of environmental and climate justice is happening at the local level. And it’s being led by civil society.We met with community organizers and activists from Kyiv; Berlin; St. James Parish, Louisiana; and Superior, Arizona, to learn what this work looks like, and how we can help.Electronic music track X1 by frankum -- https://freesound.org/s/426470/ -- License: Attribution 4.0
