An ecoWURD special live broadcast on the need for eco-journalism, eco-mindset and eco-action

ecoWURD TV 

 

In recognition of Indigenous People’s Day, WURD Radio hosted its second day-long ecoWURD Environmental Justice Summit. This event presented an ambitious mix of LIVE broadcast panels on both its LIVE radio and digital platforms. It was the culmination of extensive journalism from WURD’s ecoWURD.com project which explores the environment at the intersection of race, class, health and income in Philadelphia and beyond.

Charles Ellison – Managing Editor of ecoWURD and Host of Reality Check on WURD – kicks off the summit with conversations including ecoWURD’s Jeannine Kayembe and members of Indigenous 215. Also: Navajo songstress Radmilla Cody. Later: a keynote presentation by Marjora Carter.
