Biologist and cancer survivor Sandra Steingraber is the focus of the new documentary “UNFRACTURED”, about her fight against the environmental impacts of ‘fracking’ natural gas.

 

“The father of environmental justice” Robert Bullard recently discussed Houston’s slow recovery from Hurricane Harvey, and its’ impact on communities of color.
