    'How can we make it livable for all?' Housing Justice is Environmental Justice
    Dec 22 2025
    Demolition and displacement are a part of environmental injustice and the climate crisis. With that in mind, how do we remember and center the needs of the land and the wishes of the residents when it comes to decision making for public housing? Two neighbors from New York and Miami weigh in. We hope these stories empower us towards a world that centers living beings and lived experience.Episode transcript here. Narrators: Anna Williams and Renee Keitt.

    Aug 21 2025
    In episode 25, seven public housing resident narrators recount stories about sharing in community and forced changes to their family structures, shaped by undercurrents of federal policies enacted during the 1950s–1980s that strictly governed what resources were available to whom.
