Today on Sojourner Truth, a one-hour, in-depth discussion about the current state of the environment and how environmental activists are responding. We discuss this within the context of the Trump administration's recent rollbacks on environmental protections, pushing coal as clean energy and attacking Native American sovereignty.
Our guests are Doria Robinson and Kandi Mossett.
Doria is the Executive Director of Urban Tilth, which cultivates agriculture in west Contra Costa County, California to help communities build a more sustainable, healthy and just food system. Urban Tilth hires and trains residents to work with schools, community-based organizations, government agencies, businesses and individuals to develop the capacity to produce five percent of our own food supply.
Kandi is a member of the Indigenous Environmental Network, which is leading the struggle against the Dakota Bakken Oil shale project. The Indigenous Environmental Network was formed by grassroots Indigenous peoples and individuals to address environmental and economic justice issues.
Both are involved in organizing the Solidarity to Solutions events around California's Bay Area during the Governor's conference on climate change in September.
