This Hispanic Heritage Month, EcoMadres’ Isabel González Whitaker and Danielle Berkowitz-Sklar spoke to the media about their personal connections with clean air advocacy and how those connections power their fight for Justice in Every Breath.
- Isabel says that her mother’s legacy inspires her work with Moms and EcoMadres. In an interview with El Tiempo Latino, Isabel talks about her mother’s life as a leading Latino rights advocate in the South.
- Like her mother, Isabel is committed to advocating for justice. For Isabel, this includes ensuring that all communities have access to clean air and a livable climate.
