Welcome back to a very special season of the People over Plastic Podcast “Democracy and Dissent” where we’re exploring the intersection of Environmental Justice & Democracy. The urgency surrounding democracy is at an all-time high. But this is about more than politics, who wins the presidency, or maintaining the status quo. It’s about ensuring democracy delivers on its promise—for everyone, not just those in power.

Over the next episodes we’ll tackle three of the most critical aspects of democracy through the lens of environmental justice: Participation, Protections, and Protest. 

Host Shilpi Chhotray will have candid conversations with Environmental Justice thought leaders who have complex and differing relationships, histories, and hopes for democracy. Tune in and listen wherever you get your podcasts — because the fight for environmental justice is also a fight for democracy itself.
