The Brightline team has been hard at work preparing a new platform to share the stories of the communities we serve, and today, we are excited to introduce the Brightline Podcast: Exploring Environmental Justice in the Bay Area.
Our podcast is hosted by Maya Glicksman and Aubrey Calaway. Artwork created by Ellen Miller (@ellendrawslaws)
The first episode, featuring conversations with West Oakland Environmental Indicators Project, Bay Area Air Quality Management District, California Air Resources Board, and Contra Costa County Supervisor John Gioia, digs into air quality as a piece of the environmental justice (EJ) puzzle. We explore the importance of monitoring air quality at the neighborhood scale, the roles of community residents, government agencies, and a recent state program called AB 617.
Transcript for Episode 1 is available on Brightline’s Medium Blog.
