Environmental Series: Clean Water with Michelle Mabson of Earthjustice
Health scientist, social justice activist, and founder of Black Millennials for Flint, Michelle Mabson is a dedicated and mission-driven leader. She joined the Earthjustice healthy communities team shortly after leaving the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency where she saw firsthand how policy threatened essential health protections for communities, especially low-income and communities of color. As a Staff Scientist at Earthjustice, Michelle gets to hold polluters and the government accountable and works to ensure that communities are protected from pollution and toxic chemicals. As an activist, Michelle serves as the co-founder and chief advocacy officer for Black Millennials 4 Flint, the Nation’s first and only grassroots nonprofit environmental justice and civil rights organization fighting to eradicate harm from lead exposure across the country. Founded in the wake of the Flint Water Crisis, BM4F works to empower people to take action and advocate against the lead crisis plaguing many Black and Brown communities.
McKenna, Kate and Sean are surprised by how much they didn’t know about the ripple effects of the Flint Crisis.
