Climate Changemakers is back for Season 2! And this year, hosts Damon and Kiss are reaching beyond Illinois and talking with environmental justice movement workers from across the land about what ideas guide their work, which strategies have been effective, and what advice they have for Elevate as the organization works to put people and the planet first in the fight to build equity through climate action.
On the final episode of Season 2, the guys head to the Bronx to talk with Diana Hernández. A professor at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health, Diana digs into her process of moving from advocating solutions to building deeper understanding of the problem, how her childhood in the South Bronx built her understandings of health and community, the complexities of fighting for quality housing for all, and much more. Plus, a cameo from her six month-old daughter!
