In Episode 16, I had the incredible opportunity to interview Chris Tandazo (they/them), the Statewide Environmental Justice Organizer for the New Jersey Environmental Justice Alliance -- an alliance committed to creating healthy, sustainable, and just communities by eliminating environmental injustices in low income and communities of color. In the interview, they discussed their work for the NJEJA, how the organization advocates for overburdened communities, and how systemic racism exacerbates environmental injustice. They also shared their own experiences living in "EJ" communities and how that has shaped their worldview today. A must listen for advocates of environmental justice!
