Jacqui Patterson, the director of the NAACP's Environmental and Climate Justice Program, joined ILSR co-founder and Waste to Wealth initiative researcher Neil Seldman and ILSR's Communications Manager Nick Stumo-Langer for the latest edition of our Building Local Power podcast. The discussion centers on the practical implications of environmental justice and how she balances her work at a national non-profit with the needs of 2200 branches and local chapters of the NAACP. The trio also delves into the difficulties facing local communities that attempt to make local ownership of energy resources a reality. Finally, Jacqui explains how her work intersects with a number of other activist spaces including organizing around women's issues and racial justice in order to create a healthier environment and a vibrant local community.
