28: Voices from Climate Justice Alliance's Our Power Communities Summit Deceleration Podcast

- News
In the middle of October, San Antonio played host to the Climate Justice Alliance's Our Power Communities Summit. The gathering called together roughly 50 frontline community environmental-justice organizers from around the nation to “reground” the alliance members and begin developing a collective response to emerging so-called false solutions to the climate crisis. I met a raft of organizers who modeled their love for their communities, shared stories of their successes and ongoing struggles, and provided a vision of what frontline-led movement means as the global oil cabal not only resists necessary rapid transition to new and cleaner energy sources but continues raking in record-setting profits—all while continuing to bankroll a soft coup in the US.
In order of appearance:
Christian Rodriguez, Ironbound Community Corp
Angel Ramos, The People's Port Authority
Mackenzie Marshland, Florida Rising
Alejandria Lyons, New Mexico No False Solutions
Ayana Grace, Detroit Black Community Food Sovereignty Network
Katt Ramos, Richmond Our Power Coalition
Christine Cordero, Asian-Pacific Environmental Network
