Abstract
“Beloved Work” is the fourth episode of Poison and Power, the third season of Moral Courage Radio—the podcast produced by the Moral Courage Project, a program of the University of Dayton Human Rights Center and PROOF: Media for Social Justice. This piece features the voices of women and mothers from the frontlines of the struggle for clean and affordable water in Flint and Detroit, Michigan, and Appalachia. Across six episodes, Poison and Power weaves together stories from these areas where the demographics vary but the question remains the same: How have marginalized communities fought back when confronted with a water crisis? Each episode in this season adopts a unique angle and covers issues that include health and science, race and Indigeneity. In this episode, we explore case studies of women-led activism around water access in the US, and how race, class, and gender affect these women’s own personal relationships with water.Beloved Work” is the fourth episode of Poison and Power, the third season of Moral Courage Radio—the podcast produced by the Moral Courage Project, a program of the University of Dayton Human Rights Center and PROOF: Media for Social Justice.
