Description: The first-ever Presidential Forum on Environmental Justice is being held at South Carolina State University Friday night in Orangeburg. Democracy Now!'s Amy Goodman will co-moderate the event with former Environmental Protection Agency official Mustafa Ali. Leaders from frontline communities will attend tonight's forum, including Reverend Leo Woodberry, who has been fighting against environmental racism in South Carolina for years. We speak to him about environmental injustices in the state and where the candidates stand on the issues. Rev. Woodberry is a pastor of Kingdom Living Temple in Florence, South Carolina, and the environmental justice chair of the Sierra Club’s Ready for 100 campaign. He is also the executive director of the nonprofit New Alpha Community Development Corporation.
