Erin Brockovich - Fighting for Safe Water
Manage episode 430107186 series 2674527
Erin Brockovich became a household name when her crusade against the polluting power company PG&E in a small California town was dramatized in the Oscar-winning movie Erin Brockovich, starring Julia Roberts. But her mission to empower communities to fight for environmental justice didn't end there.
Erin joined host Jay Ruderman to share her journey from a Kansas childhood marked by dyslexia to becoming a pivotal figure in environmental advocacy. Jay and Erin talk about the immense influence of her parents and a crucial school teacher in fostering her dogged persistence, the necessity of community action and local involvement, and her ongoing efforts to address environmental crises in America.
