This is the third and final session of our 2021 conference, Environmental Justice in Southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island. The first steps in addressing environmental injustices include confronting racism, both internally and externally and to obtain the vocabulary to speak about racism. Don Williams (0:05:58), president of Herring Ponds Watershed Association and Melissa Ferretti (0:15:15), chairlady of Herring Pond Wampanoag Tribe, share experiences addressing and experiencing racism. Livia Davis (0:22:20) of C4 Innovations discusses these steps as well as exercises organizations and individuals can complete.
