Episode 2.1 - Marnese Jackson

Climate Changemakers is back for Season 2! And this year, hosts Damon and Kiss are reaching beyond Illinois and talking with environmental justice movement workers from across the land about what ideas guide their work, which strategies have been effective, and what advice they have for Elevate as the organization works to put people and the planet first in the fight to build equity through climate action. The season kicks off with Marnese Jackson, an advocate, organizer and mother from Pontiac, Michigan whose work lives at every scale from the personal to the global. She is a member of Michigan's State Climate Solutions Board, on the leadership team of the Midwest Building Decarbonization Coalition, and a facilitator of BIPOC leadership programs in the climate justice movement. She talks about getting white folks to be self-reflective, bringing together multiracial coalition, and much more!
