1 MAY 2024 · You need water to live. I need water to live. Everyone needs water to live. However, in Palestine, the necessary amount of water is not flowing to the Palestinians.  It's not just a matter of water insecurity. It's water injustice. It's water apartheid. And it needs to stop.  So let's talk about it.... https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/ceasefirenow https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/releasethehostagesnow https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/freepalestine Resources: https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/campaigns/2017/11/the-occupation-of-water/ https://www.aljazeera.com/gallery/2023/8/27/photos-palestinians-still-struggle-to-get-enough-water https://www.unicef.org/stories/gaza-children-face-acute-water-sanitation-crisis Connect with our Environmental Justice Lab community: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/envjusticelab/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@envjusticelab Email: theenvironmentaljusticelab@gmail.com Don’t forget to subscribe and rate the podcast wherever you listen!

9 APR 2024 · Food justice and food sovereignty are hallmarks of a free society. The ability to get the food you need, when you need it, is critical for any group of people to flourish. However, this is not the case in Palestine. Long before the current war on Gaza, food justice and food sovereignty were not present.  And we need to talk about it.... https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/ceasefirenow https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/releasethehostagesnow https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/freepalestine Resources: https://docs.wfp.org/api/documents/WFP-0000152729/download/?_ga=2.98858779.403748136.1712629505-773226444.1712247406 https://grassrootsonline.org/learning_hub/graphic-restrictions-on-palestinian-food-sovereignty/ Connect with our Environmental Justice Lab community: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/envjusticelab/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@envjusticelab Email: theenvironmentaljusticelab@gmail.com Don’t forget to subscribe and rate the podcast wherever you listen!

8 MAR 2024 · We need to talk about Palestine. I've been avoiding it. My guess is that you have been avoiding it. But we cannot avoid it any longer. Too many deaths. Too many parentless children. Too many environmental injustices. It's time to talk about it and take a stand.

23 FEB 2024 · DEI. Diversity. Equity. Inclusion. With the proliferation of DEI offices, officers, divisions, and initiatives, are we actually seeing more justice done in our communities? Are our institutions more equitable? Is it leading to environmental justice and equity for all? And how are we talking about DEI when issues related to justice come up? We need to talk about it.

9 FEB 2024 · Race. According to researchers, it’s the #1 characteristic that informs the presence of environmental injustice. However, I’ve noticed that in the literature and in the discourse around environmental justice, many of us are not willing to explicitly state WHO is being treated unfairly. We do not say “Black” or “Indigenous” or whoever else. Instead, I see phrases like “communities of color” or “minorities” or “underserved populations”. We need to change that. We need to change our language around justice so we let people know exactly who we are talking about when we talk about them. On this episode, I suggest that we change how we talk about these groups of people. Let’s be precise and direct and deliberate, so that there is no confusion. Let’s talk about it!

22 JAN 2024 · Equity. Equality. There is a difference. And understanding the difference will determine what we actually advocate for when we fight for justice. - It’s the difference between fighting for what THEY have or fighting for what YOU NEED. - It’s the difference between advocating for the same RESOURCES or advocating for the same OPPORTUNITIES and the same ACCESS. - It’s the difference between demanding changes to the allocation of FUNDING and demanding changes to the operation of the SYSTEM. So let’s explore it! You’re in the right place….

15 JAN 2024 · Happy New Year! Welcome to the first episode of Season 3 of the Environmental Justice Lab. On this episode, we are looking at the "language of justice", how we talk about what we talk about. In order to be most effective, we need to make sure that we are clear and precise with our language, especially as we bring awareness to environmental justice issues and the impacted communities.

8 DEC 2023 · We have a special episode for you today. In our ongoing commitment to amplify voices, particularly our youth who are doing amazing things, we get to hear from two young ladies, Laina Digeronimo and Eva Ko, who are students at Laurel School, an all-girls high school in Ohio. They just finished their first environmental justice semester in school, and they are sharing a conversation that they had with the founder of Redhouse Studio, a pioneer in sustainable architecture and construction. These young ladies did a great job with their episode, and I know that you are going to enjoy it!
