I was honored to be interviewed on Pacifica' Radio’s Sojourner Truth with Margaret Prescod about the Alto Mayo REDD+ project in Peru, and environmental & social justice. My first live radio interview! You can listen to the audio below. You can also read a transcript of the interview on REDD-Monitor. Special thanks to the Global Justice Ecology Project.
Today on Sojourner Truth: We bring you the voice of Mike Africa Jr., a member of the MOVE Organization. He tackles issues of mass incarceration, police brutality, environmental protection and systemic oppression. Also, Dr. Melina Abdullah, the founder and coordinator of Black Lives Matter Los Angeles on defunding the police in communities and in public schools. For our weekly Earth Watch, we speak with Dr. Lauren Gifford, a human-environment geographer exploring the intersections of global climate change policy, conservation, markets and justice. We discuss carbon offsets.
