Ever get blamed for something you didn't do? EJ is the story of how the people who contribute the least to climate change often are forced to endure the worst impacts. In Louisiana, these communities still have past scars from slavery and the Jim Crow era. This week, Cori & Jill discuss how climate change impacts communities along socioeconomic and racialized lines. They get into the policy that's meant to protect everyone, NIMBY-ism, PIBBY-ism, and the decision-making bodies we can harness to incite change for the better.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
