BONUS - Help This Garden Grow, Episode 1

BrownTown is delighted to -- for the first time -- share a new
series from our movement media fam over at AirGo. Help This
Garden Grow is a new six-part podcast documentary series
telling the story of Hazel Johnson, a visionary of the
Environmental Justice movement and a resident of the Altgeld
Gardens community on the far South Side of Chicago. Hazel is the
founder of People for Community Recovery, a 40 year-old
organization that fights to address the toxic industrial
pollution that has been killing the members of her community.
Over the course of the multigenerational multipart documentary,
hosts Damon Williams and Daniel Kisslinger talk with organizers,
policy-makers, historians, and community members about how PCR
emerged and led, the legacy of Ms. Johnson's work, and how this
marginalized Chicago pocket built the lineage of today's vibrant,
impactful, and necessary modern environmental justice
movement. Help This Garden Grow is presented by
Respair Production & Media, Elevate, and People for Community
Recovery. Subscribe by searching Help This Garden Grow
wherever you get your podcasts (Apple, Spotify), check out
respairmedia.com for more info, and support the work of People
for Community Recovery!
