Waiting on Reparations

The Green Dream or Whatever

Baby, it's cold outside... And keeping it warm INSIDE is expensive as hell! This week, hosts Dope KNife and Linqua Franqa discuss the impacts and perceptions of climate change in the Black community and the link between climate and economic justice when it comes to renewable energy. They speak with Daniel Blackman, Democratic candidate for Public Service Commissioner in Georgia, the lesser-known of Georgia's January runoffs, about the implications of the Public Service Commission on climate justice, utilities rates, and how Hip Hop hustle inflects his style of political organizing. And they cap off the episode with shoutouts to indie artist-slash-activists from Markese to Xiuhtezcatl who have addressed environmental concerns within their music.
