Waterspirit’s Public Policy & Justice Organizer, Rachel Dawn Davis, has been actively amplifying the interconnectedness between social justice issues and organizers through water for years. Water is life!
This Earth Day 2024, she was featured on WBAI Radio in her capacity as NJ Poor People’s Campaign Moral Advocate Tri-Chair alongside Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis, Co-Chair of the Poor People’s Campaign and Executive Director of the Kairos Center at Union Theological Seminary!
Years ago Rachel Dawn sought press coverage of devastating environmental injustice after a collaborative grassroots effort galvanizing 130 health professionals speaking against a 4th dirty gas plant in the Ironbound section of Newark 3 years ago. Reporter Robert Hennelly took on the coverage and continues to reach into the grassroots organizing of the national Poor People’s Campaign. We deeply appreciate his dedication and openness on the radio airwaves to connecting to peoples hearts and minds into action every week. Visit Waterspirit’s Calls to Action Page HERE.
