93. John Beard on #BuildBackFossilFree and environmental racism in Port Arthur, Texas

On the 93rd edition of Free City Radio we hear from John Beard of the Port Arthur Community Action Network (PACAN https://www.pa-can.com), which is a member organization of the national #BuildBackFossilFree coalition. In this interview John speaks about the ways that oil and gas production has played a negative role in Port Arthur communities struggling with the health impacts of being located close to some of the largest oil and gas refinery locations in North America, including a major plant of TOTAL corporation. Important John speaks about the ways that environmental racism comes into play, given the ways that Black communities in Port Arthur have been impacted by the negative health impacts of living in this oil production region of Texas along the Gulf coast. This is an important interview that highlights a specific reality of environmental racism and the voice of an important local activist in Port Arthur campaigning for climate and environmental justice locally and nationally within the U.S. Thank you to Nyshie Perkinson at the Climate Law Institute / Center for Biological Diversity for helping to arrange this interview. Music on this edition of Free City Radio is by GAIKA @gaikasays out of London. Free City Radio is hosted and produced by Stefan @spirodon Christoff
