Disabled youth climate activist Daphne Frias has a lot to say about gatekeeping in the environmental movement, from the lack of information in Spanish to disabled communities' inability to access data about themselves. In this episode of Data Dialogues, Daphne and Angela discuss (in English) the importance of personal stories in bringing solutions to our problems.
In Data Dialogues, we highlight two people working with environmental data and then put them in conversation with each other. Listen to this conversation on its own or pair it with Jarah Moesch's conversation in Episode 5 and Daphne & Jarah's dialogue in Episode 6.
You can access a transcript of this episode and Show Notes on our website and join in the conversation on Twitter @OpenEnviroData and Instagram @OpenEnviroData!
Daphne Frias (she/her) is a 24-year-old youth activist. She is unapologetically Latina. Having Cerebral Palsy, and using a wheelchair to ambulate, she is fiercely proud to be a loud champion for the disabled community.

In August of 2019, she was appointed as the NY State Director for March For Our Lives.
Angela Eaton (she/her) is the Director of Data Inclusion at Open Environmental Data and host of Data Dialogues.
