Today on Sojourner Truth:
We continue our lead up to the Global Climate Strikes on Sept. 20 and Sept. 27, called by youth asking adults to join them. Our guest is London-based, internationally-known author, women's rights and anti-racist campaigner, Selma James. She discusses what Karl Marx had to say about climate and much more. Also, her views on the growing environmental crisis.
For our weekly Earth Watch, we discuss the relationship between immigration, migration and climate change. We speak with Sherrie Anne Andre, co-founder of The FANG Collective, a grassroots organization based in the Northeast that began as a group fighting fracked gas infrastructure projects and currently hosts a campaign called Shut Down ICE.
Also, gentrification in South Los Angeles. We speak with Jabari Jumaane, Executive Director of the South Los Angeles-based African Firefighters In Benevolent Association (AFIBA) Center.
