In this episode, I'm joined by Chanell Fletcher, Deputy Executive Officer of Equity, Communities & Environmental Justice at the California Air Resources Board (CARB). Ms. Fletcher leads statewide efforts to ensure that all communities, especially those historically marginalized, have access to clean air and protection from climate harm.
We talk about how policies like redlining and zoning have created unequal air quality outcomes across California, and what it means to take an equity-first approach to environmental regulation. From AB 617 to community air monitoring programs, Ms. Fletcher breaks down how justice-driven policy can reshape our air, our neighborhoods, and our futures.
We also explore the role of community organizing and the importance of youth to lead the fight for environmental justice.
