Racism: Dismantling the System | The Fight for Environmental Equity

The most vulnerable and marginalized communities live, work and play in cities exceedingly affected by pollution and climate change. This is not a coincidence. From the Flint, Michigan water crisis to Louisiana’s own “Cancer Alley,” local and national neglect and ineffective environmental policies and regulations place the greatest environmental burdens on the backs of poor and minority communities. In the season four finale, state and national experts and activists will examine the history behind the disproportionate impacts and the push for policies that support clean, healthy and thriving communities for all.
