This is Climate Justice Y'all, a podcast dedicated to lifting up and centering the climate and environmental justice movement in the South. Despite the South being the most biodiverse, diverse, and one of the largest economic engines in the world, we are underfunded and often barred from the decision-making table. Because of that, we decided to pull up a chair and amplify the stories of communities in the South hit the hardest by the climate crisis. We’re using good ol’ fashion storytelling to shine a spotlight on these Southern leaders from all walks of life putting in their blood, sweat, and tears to transform the region. The usage of Y'ALL in the title is on purpose-- we are honoring our Southern heritage of creativity, resilience and ingenuity. Climate Justice Y'ALL: it’s real, it’s here, it’s about time.

S5E8: Indigenous Organizing & Leadership (Part I) with Dr. Crystal Cavalier-Keck
Indigenous advocates have been at the frontlines of environmental protection and climate action for hundreds of years in the face of colonization and continue to face violence today. Despite indigenous people comprising just over 6% of the global population, they steward and protect a vast majority of the planet’s biodiversity and critical water sources. Whether it’s the way we extract resources, the way we teach history, or the way we treat each others- we need to think about how to center indigenous knowledge in a post-colonized society.
In this episode we outline what it means to support indigenous knowledge, organizing, and leadership in the climate fight through a candid discussion with Dr. Crystal Cavalier-Keck, a cyber-security and intelligence analyst turned water protector and co-founder of 7 Directions of Service.
“When you ask people to care about the environment, you’re asking them to extend care for people other than yourself and family. It’s your cousin, it's your neighbor. It’s future generations.” - Dr. Crystal Cavalier-Keck
