In this series opener we go way-deep into the social tensions of our time, discussing how racism in law enforcement and governmental responses to the COVID-19 epidemic contribute important environmental threats to communities in our region and elsewhere. We discuss what Tom and Robin have been finding in their analysis of the second question in the postcards: how people are surviving or coping with environmental challenges and we read and discuss some of the most disruptive answers!
