My last post was about the community activists and leaders I interviewed during a meeting of the Gulf Coast Sustainable Communities Network. As I listened to these interviews I was reminded of these comments by Lisa Jackson, U.S. EPA Administrator, at an Environmental Justice Town Hall Meeting in January. A cameraman for my documentary TURKEY CREEK videotaped the event .

I heard this week that EPA is sponsoring “Faces of the Grassroots: Environmental Justice Video Contest.” I hope the EPA is flooded with media from communities that too rarely have the opportunity to have their message heard.
