Justice Above All
The Thurgood Marshall Institute at the Legal Defense Fund brings you Justice Above All, a quarterly series about the evolution of, and continued need for, racial justice advocacy. We’ve entered a time where many of the building blocks underpinning our work for racial justice are being questioned or actively undermined. Justice Above All provides an accessible way to help inform the national debate, revive our history, and remember how far we still must go in our quest to realize the ideals for which Thurgood Marshall and the advocates he led fought.

Who Controls Our Water?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Local officials have a great deal of power and authority over both our access to water and our water quality. For that reason, water is frequently on the ballot in local elections. Currently, Black communities are not being well served by water utilities, including water infrastructure and billing policies. The guests on this episode will walk listeners through the water justice crisis as it relates to Black people’s health and wealth. They also encourage listeners to hold their locally elected leaders accountable for delivering safe and affordable water to all.
This episode was produced by Lauren O'Neil. It is hosted by Sandhya Kajeepeta, PhD. Resonate Recordings edited the episode.
