Earth Watch: Anne Petermann On Environmental Justice Issues In Brazil

Sojourner Truth Radio

Today on Sojourner Truth: For our weekly Earth Watch, we have a conversation with Anne Petermann, the Executive Director of the Global Justice Ecology Project. Anne discusses her recent trip to Brazil's Quilombos, inhabited by people of African descent. We talk about all things environmental, including the impacts of industrial forestry, timber industry and industrial tree plantations. For most of the hour, we are joined in-studio by Bill Gallegos, a longtime Chicano liberation and environmental justice activist. He is the author of "The Sunbelt Strategy and Chicano Liberation, and Reflections on The Green Economy." He's also a poet and shares his work with us for National Poetry Month.
