Jillian Johnson is the Mayor Pro Tempore of the City of Durham, and a long-time community organizer and activist. She was first elected to the Durham City Council in 2015 on a platform of racial, economic, and environmental justice, police accountability, equitable development, broadening democracy, and centering the voices of those who are most impacted by the issues facing Durham.
In this episode, we talk about the role of local politics in the fight against the climate crisis. How do we navigate policy barriers, community engagement, and connecting climate policy to people?
