Voices For Energy Justice

About Voices For Energy Justice

Voices for Energy Justice, a podcast series produced by Uniting the Central Coast for Action, a program of the San Luis Obispo Climate Coalition, interviews prominent energy justice leaders. Shalanda Baker’s visionary book, Revolutionary Power, provides two critical insights. One, we cannot address climate change without also taking on environmental justice. Two, the powers of the status quo will try to divide Climate activists and the Energy Justice community. Energy justice leaders we interview are working to overcome these, which is key to achieving the energy future we all deserve!
