## Summary

Host Adam Kofman interviews Khafre Jay, Executive Director of Hip Hop for Change, about using hip hop culture as a vehicle for environmental justice and social equity. Jay discusses the disproportionate environmental hazards facing Black communities, such as the radioactive soil at San Francisco's Hunters Point Shipyard, and critiques the mainstream environmental movement for ignoring these human impacts. The conversation highlights Hip Hop for Change's strategy of hosting summits and educational programs to center Black and Brown voices in the fight against pollution and corporate control of media.
