Today on Sojourner Truth:
The interrelationship between the hurricanes of this era, wildfires and global warming. Within this context, we discuss the aftermath of both hurricanes Laura and Sally, as well as the latest news on Hurricane Sally. Our guest is Monique Hardin with the Deep South Center for Environmental Justice.
For our weekly Earth Watch: On September 21, environmental groups around the world will mark the International Day Against Monoculture Tree Plantations. What is the interrelationship with tree plantations, ecological devastation, pandemics, global warming and wildfires? We speak with Oliver Munnion with the Global Forest Coalition.
Also, the Justice on Trial Film Festival kicks off today. It is a virtual event, so people from around the country can participate. Our guest is Danny Deza with A New Way of Life Reentry Project.
Lastly, we continue our new twice-weekly feature, Sojourners Ballot Box Quiz, with S. Pearl Sharp.
