Catherine Coleman Flowers on the Future of Environmental Justice Under Trump

Season 2025 Episode 7222 | 18m 07s

President Trump's climate and civil rights rollbacks are only making life harder for environmental activists. Catherine Coleman Flowers spent years leading the charge for a landmark settlement to address the sewage crisis crippling rural communities in Alabama, only for the agreement to be killed last month. But Flowers isn't giving up. She joins the show to discuss her new book, "Holy Ground."
