S5 E6: Black Denver and the Climate Crisis with Pastor Eugene Downing
Historically marginalized people suffer disproportionately from the climate crisis. Environmental hazards, such as pollution, contaminated materials, and industrial waste, often plague low-income communities of color. Pastor Eugene Downing, Senior Pastor of New Hope Baptist Church and member of Governor Polis' Community Access Enterprise, discusses how black communities in Denver are being affected by the climate crisis and how local government is responding to marginalized communities.
