Summary
Dr. Mustafa Santiago Ali is an internationally renowned thought-leader, strategist, policymaker, and activist committed to the fight for environmental justice and economic equity.
He helped to lead environmental justice efforts at the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for 24 years, and in 2017, he resigned to join Hip Hop Caucus, a nonprofit linking culture and policy to make our movements for a just, sustainable and prosperous world, bigger, more diverse, and more powerful.
In this podcast episode, Dr. Ali sheds light on what the EPA has succeeded on or fallen short of doing in the past decade; the vital connection between hip hop, culture, and sustainability; and more.
