Episode Details

Over the last month, we have been talking about everything related to Cancer Death Alley. From the health issues to the complaints to the lawsuits to EPA. And while it may get discouraging at times to discuss the issues surrounding Death Alley, there is hope. Hope from the various community groups and organizations fighting for change.

On this episode, we discuss two of these groups, RISE St. James and the Concerned Citizens of St. John, and what we can learn from their hard work and dedication in the fight for environmental justice in Death Alley.

Let’s get into it!
