While the environmental movement is typically associated with upper-class white folk, it is also a civil rights issue. Communities of color often live closest to factories and refineries that spew toxic pollution. That’s one reason why polls show more African Americans and Latinos say climate is a serious concern than whites.

So why do environmental movements lack diversity, and why has it been so difficult for nonprofits to reach communities of color?

Guests:

Ingrid Brostrom, Assistant Director, Center on Race, Poverty & the Environment

Rev. Dr. Gerald Durley, Board Member, Interfaith Power and Light

Mystic, Musician, Bay Area Coordinator, Hip Hop Caucus
