Catherine Coleman Flowers has dedicated her life to fighting for the most vulnerable communities—people who have been deprived of the basic civil right to a clean, safe and sustainable environment.
When she was first on Climate One in 2021, Flowers talked about growing up in Lowndes County, Alabama, and working to stem the raw sewage contaminating homes and drinking water in her county and beyond. In recognition of this work she was granted a MacArthur “Genius Award.” Now, she picks up the story, connecting the dots between her mother, a civil rights activist who lost her life to gun violence, her own deeply personal experience with reproductive justice, her awareness of racialized disinvestment in the South, and the impact of unfettered fossil fuel production nationwide.
Join Climate One co-host Greg Dalton in a live conversation with leading environmental justice advocate Catherine Coleman Flowers.
