The Just Transition Alliance Podcast centers the experiences, insights, and demands of frontline workers and fenceline communities united for justice. Episodes feature movement topics and intersectional justice struggles, as we share and learn from our collective knowledges and experiences to continue building people power toward just transition. In the episodes to come, we’ll interview Just Transition Alliance (JTA) board and staff members and will speak with sister alliance members and other groups that align with and inform JTA's work. In addition to interviews, we plan to share updates on our popular education and policy advocacy—from local initiatives to transborder mobilizations. These interconnected efforts and relationships are dedicated to the collective refusal of extractivism and greenwashed false solutions, while co-creating pathways toward frontline-led just transition.
