Today we're talking with Shari Hersh, Ron Whyte, and Zulene Mayfield about environmental justice and Mural Art Philadelphia's new Environmental Justice department. After an introduction to the department, this episode focuses on the situation in Chester, PA, which has long been known as one of the nation's worst cases of environmental racism. And we talk about ways Mural Arts' Environmental Justice department will support the efforts of activists and community members, as well as ways you can support.
