Just as the enslavement of people was driven by commercial interests, today the enslavement of nature for profit violates a morality that sees value in all living things, according to the Rev. Mariama White-Hammond, pastor of New Roots AME Church in Dorchester, Massachusetts and former Chief of Environment, Energy and Open Spaces for the City of Boston. She joins us to reflect on how overcoming slavery, which is celebrated on Juneteenth, can inspire us to find ways to depend on each other so we can thrive in a world of ecological justice.

I thought that with 30 years of good science we could address those problems. But I was wrong.

Ben Yosua-Davis and Nicole Diroff are the hosts of the new Climate Changed podcast. They also have something else in common. They are both parents. Ben is a father to two amazing children. Michael, is his six year-old creative social butterfly. Genevieve is his sweet and ferocious two year old." Nicole is a mother to a second grader. Parenting comes with so many unique joys and challenges, and parenting in a climate-changed world in particular, raises so many questions for us.  As our children are discovering the wonders of the natural world, How much do we tell them about the ecological disasters happening all around us? How do we create space for their grief and anger? How do we prepare them to live in a world that is already different from the one we knew as children? How do we raise resilient children who are prepared for the trauma that's predicted for their lifetimes? How do we instill in them empathy and love for all earthlings?  As parents, Christians, citizens, and friends, we talk a lot about these issues, so we decided to bring others into the conversation.  In the first season of Climate Changed we connect with thought leaders, ministers, activists, and other parents who are considering similar questions.  People like Corina Newsome, one of co-organizers of the inaugural #BlackBirdersWeek Keyana Pardilla, a young Penobscot woman in Maine who connects modern science with ancient indigenous practices Pacific Islander and poet Craig Santos-Perez Rev.

In fact, we have many more questions than answers - but we want to share them with you, and invite you to join us, as we wrestle with these big issues.  Subscribe today to Climate Changed Podcast, wherever you get your podcasts.

In early November, hundreds of clergy came to Cannon Ball, North Dakota, at the invitation of the Standing Rock Sioux Nation, to join in the protest against the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline through reservation land.  I attended that protest, and while there I met Mariama White-Hammond, today’s guest. Today we will talk with two leaders concerned with this controversial pipeline and hear about the issues that come together in it: water quality, the rights of indigenous people, and climate change.  The Episcopal Church’s Presiding Bishop Michael Curry has said about the protests at Standing Rock, ““I want to now suggest that Standing Rock may be the new Selma.” Our guests are the Rev. Mariama White-Hammon, and Shantha Ready Alonso of Creation Justice Ministries.  We will also discuss a key part of the witness of the churches at Standing Rock, the public repudiation of the “Doctrine of Discovery.”
