BronxNet: Unpacking Extreme Heat And "Ecological Apartheid" With Rev. Jon Robinson
Many urban areas are experiencing profound inequities, whether we are talking about health, climate, education or economics. Part of the challenge for us is understanding that these conditions, such as the extreme heat cities are facing now, didn’t just come from out of nowhere. This all happened as a result of intentional and targeted public policy designed to cause harm on people of color.
BronxNet’s Daren Jaime sits down with the Senior Program Director at Metropolitan AME Church Rev. John Robinson to discuss ecological apartheid, how to understand heat inequity, and the barriers to massive implementation.
