VIDEO: ‘In Pursuit of Climate Justice’

Raging climate-related wildfires. Torrential flooding. Disastrous droughts. Hazardous wastes. Headlines are full of the 1,001 ways the climate crisis can harm you, your family and the place you live. Yet communities of color and low-income families have long suffered from being on the front lines of such dangers. ‘Fairness’ and ‘justice’ are two words now central to climate change activism. They speak to the need to look out for front-line communities, whose health and well-being are often most at-risk from environmental disasters and climate change hazards. This video of the West Virginia Climate Alliance features a profile of this important subject, featuring interviews with longtime West Virginia environmental activist Pam Nixon, who chairs the Charleston branch of the Environmental and Climate Justice Committee of the NAACP; Angie Rosser, director of the WV Rivers Coalition; and Rev. Ron English, president of the Charleston WV branch of the NAACP.
