On today’s episode we talk about the climate catastrophe from various angles, KKKanada’s appalling responses, and how racialized people face the brunt of consequences resulting from climate change. This week we’re asking, Do the kids know about environmental racism?

Do The Kids Know? is a series of conversations between friends, Prakash and Kristen, where we challenge our understanding of contemporary media, popular culture, and what it means to live as racialized millennials in KKKanada (That’s Canada spelled with three K’s) 

Our goal for this series is to have frank discussions about the stories and nuances missed by sensationalist media as well as to uncover the ways in which white supremacy, capitalism, and colonialism is shaping our movements and behaviours. 

Keep tuning in to be a part of the conversation… don’t be a kid who doesn’t know!
