Many studies have shown that the burden of air pollution in the United States disproportionately falls on racial minorities, especially Black Americans. In August, a federal judge barred the EPA and DOJ from using part of the Civil Rights Act to investigate how Louisiana regulates industrial plants.

In our season finale, we shine a spotlight on the vital leadership of Black women in the realm of environmental justice. Often, after environmental catastrophes wreak havoc on frontline communities, well-funded environmental organizations descend like Trojan horses, offering solutions that often lack community input. In some cases, these organizations and their so-called 'relief' efforts blow in and out of communities as quickly as the crises themselves. Today, our co-hosts Shilpi Chhotray and Alexis Young explore the enduring impact of Black women leaders who have nurtured spaces of care and refuge for communities on the frontlines of the climate justice movement. Joining us are remarkable individuals who have dedicated their lives to urgent issues that affect their communities. Roishetta Sibley Ozane, founder of The Vessel Project of Louisiana; Dr. Beverly Wright, founder of The Deep South Center for Environmental Justice; and Wawa Gatheru, founder of Black Girl Environmentalist, share their journeys and insights. These visionary leaders have focused on creating sustainable, community-centered solutions that prioritize long-term well-being. Join us for a captivating discussion as we honor the incredible contributions of Black women in environmental justice, highlighting their enduring commitment to communities that cannot escape the frontlines of the climate justice movement. You'll want to listen to the very end for a special poem by internationally-acclaimed poet and activist Sunni Patterson.

Dr. Beverly Wright has been a leading voice on the impact of the global climate crisis for decades, spreading awareness, working on solutions and educating the next generations. As executive director of the Deep South Center for Environmental Justice, an organization she founded 30 years ago, and a member of the White House Environmental Justice Advisory Council, she is the heart of the environmental justice movement. With the Biden administration's rollout of billions to help communities combat the effects of climate change, and the United Nations Climate Change Conference convening in the United Arab Emirates through Dec. 12, the spotlight is on the issue and efforts to help vulnerable countries cope with the crisis. At COP28, Dr. Wright is sharing her organization's work, and amplifying the voices of those most impacted — communities of color and indigenous people, particularly those in the Global South. She joins Equal Time to discuss her mission and her message. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Earlier this year, we told the story of how a change in the White House had the potential to turn the tide for Black communities fighting against more environmental pollution in one of the country's largest hotspots for toxic air — Louisiana's industrial corridor nicknamed Cancer Alley.The Environmental Protection Agency's new leader pledged to use all the tools in his toolbox to deliver "environmental justice," and his agency launched a groundbreaking investigation into alleged civil rights violations by the state. Environmental advocates thought it could be the moment everyone waited for after years of debate over discrimination.Then, out of the blue, the EPA dropped its high-profile investigation without any resolution. It blindsided everyone.Today on Louisiana Considered, we bring you the latest episode of Sea Change, where we go back to Louisiana's industrial corridor to try to find some answers. Why when the EPA was on the cusp of reforming the petrochemical state of Louisiana did it just... back off? Turns out, the implications are even bigger than we imagined. Far bigger than Louisiana.To listen to the full episode of Sea Change, click here. A special thanks to Robert Taylor of the Concerned Citizens of St. John, Sharon Lavigne of Rise St. James, Lisa Jordan of the Tulane Environmental Law Clinic, Monique Harden of the Deep South Center for Environmental Justice and Carlton Waterhouse of Howard University School of Law's Environmental and Climate Justice Center for speaking with us.This episode was hosted and reported by Halle Parker.

The Deep South Center for Environmental Justice recently released new maps that show petrochemical plants in Louisiana are disproportionately located near Black communities. This report builds on research from the 1990s, and argues that little has changed in the last 30 years. The coastal desk's Halle Parker joins us for more on these maps and what they reveal about the health and safety of residents in “Cancer Alley” and Calcasieu Parish. Last week in New Orleans, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit heard arguments in Perkins v. Hart. The case centers on a Louisiana woman who accused deputies of using excessive force during her arrest, and the recent hearing was to determine whether she has the right to demand a jury trial. For more on this pivotal case on law enforcement accountability, we are joined by Nora Ahmed, legal director for ACLU of Louisiana. She gives us some background on last week's hearing and tells us what may happen next. And lastly, it's that time of year again. Formosan subterranean termites are swarming into south Louisiana homes, crawling through nooks and crannies and eating away at wood floors and roofs. New Orleans has been experiencing these swarms lately, and while it might be a disturbing sight, it's not necessarily one to panic about. Karen Henderson spoke with LSU AgCenter urban entomologist Karen Sun to learn more about how to manage termites and mitigate their damage.

In an editorial in The Advocate, Tulane professor Joshua Basseches says the recently-signed Inflation Reduction Act might be a start, but isn't nearly enough to tackle climate change. Basseches joins us to explain the likelihood that this incentive-based approach will increase the use of renewable energy, and how feasible it will be for Louisiana to incentivize this energy transition. Late last month, The Deep South Center for Environmental Justice received a half million dollar grant to create the Environmental Justice Data Hub; an interactive online portal to provide environmental justice organizations with research information on their communities. Monique Harden, assistant director of law and policy at the Deep South Center for Environmental Justice, tells us more about this hub and the importance of addressing environmental concerns with a community-based approach. When Cullman County, Alabama was founded in 1873 it was advertised as a place with “No Blacks and No Indians,” and its largest city was a sundown town. But one of the oldest communities in Cullman county was actually a safe haven for Black people – and in some ways it still is. WBHM's Kyra Miles talked to residents of Colony about its rich history and its present. Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Adam Vos.

We speak with two environmental resource experts about an effort to produce green energy in Louisiana. Adam Voshosted this Thursday's episode of Louisiana Considered. The Louisiana Department of Natural Resources' Patrick Courregesexplains the process of “carbon sequestration,” or removing carbon during chemical processing and pumping it underground instead of releasing it into the atmosphere. In October, industrial gas supplier Air Products announced a $4.5 billion facility will be built in the state incorporating carbon sequestration technology. The Deep South Center for Environmental Justice's Monique Hardenexplains why Air Products' plant may not be able to fulfill the company's promises, and how its effects could harm Louisiana communities.

Attending the first Conference of the Parties since the US returned to the 2015 Paris Agreement, President Biden joined other heads of state and government meeting at COP26 in Scotland this week —calling the need for urgent climate action both a moral and economic imperative. There is growing pressure on the US and the world's other major industrialized nations, the G20, which are responsible for 80% of global greenhouse gas emissions, to do more. This follows a stark warning from the UN Secretary General who described the latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change (IPCC) as a “code red for humanity”, with scientists warning that global temperatures were projected to rise beyond the 1,5 degree Celsius goal set in Paris, largely due to fossil fuels. And while President Biden reiterated his administration's commitment to cutting emissions by 50% from 2005 levels, by 2030, he faces significant challenges on Capitol Hill to enact his proposed $1.7 trillion social spending legislation which includes 555 billion dollars in climate-related spending —the oil and gas industry would be forced to share the cost by raising more than $100 billion dollars from fossil fuel firms over the next decade.

Also, the Donald Trump administration doubles down on his attacks against immigrant communities. Five months ago, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 virus a pandemic. Since then, public health experts have warned of the dangers of the disease spreading in cramped and unsanitary spaces. Along with jails and prisons, these spaces also include migrant detention centers, where entire families are held against their will. These detention centers, run by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, are petri dishes of infection. Despite numerous warnings from global medical professionals and human rights campaigners, Trump's administration has refused to release migrant families. For our Campaigners for Black Lives series, we visit the struggle for ethnic studies as a requirement across the Cal State system in California. Our guest is Dr. Melina Abdullah, a professor, author and community organizer in Los Angeles.

In the premiere episode, Creator of The Iconoclast Dinner Experience (IDE), Executive Producer and host of The IDE Impolite Conversation Podcast, Lezli Levene Harvell begins her first episode introducing the podcast and episode one of a five part series of conversations beginning at the height of the coronavirus, reflecting a timely perspective on the global pandemic how it shines a lights on our food supply chain, its impact on culture, Black businesses and potentially the Black middle class. The first episode under the theme “Climate Change + COVID-19 + Communities of Color, Lezli is joined by Jim Robbins, Montana based free-lance journalist for the New York Times, covering climate change and the environment, as well as Mary I. Williams, assistant director of community and student engagement at the Deep South Center for Environmental Justice in New Orleans, LA . The conversation between the three examines how climate change influenced an environmental shift where the coronavirus could not only survive, but thrive. Lezli also examines the cross section of environmental, economic, and social-cultural factors that contribute to how communities of color have been disproportionately impacted by COVID-19, and how Black and Brown communities have been historically impacted by climate change over time and unequally protected during recovery efforts.
