From Norco, Louisiana to Flint, Michigan to Los Angeles, California — environmental racism is real. On this edition of Making Contact, we look at polluting industries in Northeast and South L.A.
We begin with a story by Making Contact’s Community Storytelling Fellow Ivan Rodriguez, followed by an interview with journalist Aura Bogado and Los Angeles County Supervisor Hilda Solis.
Featuring:
- Ivan Maceda Rodriguez, Making Contact Community Storytelling Fellow
- Aura Bogado, Journalist, Grist
- Hilda Solis, Los Angeles County Supervisor
An urgent appeal for your support: 10 Days to raise $50,000
Truthout relies on individual donations to publish independent journalism, free from political and corporate influence. In fact, we’re almost entirely funded by readers like you.
Unfortunately, donations are down. At a moment when independent journalism is urgently needed, we are struggling to meet our operational costs due to increasing political censorship.
Truthout may end this month in the red without additional help, so we’ve launched a fundraiser. We have 10 days to hit our $50,000 goal. Please make a tax-deductible one-time or monthly donation if you can.
