Where Water, Media, and Justice Meet

During a recent radio show on WBAI radio (broadcast as well as available via streaming), Waterspirit took the spotlight to illuminate the deep connections between journalism, economic justice and watershed awareness—locally and globally. The conversation underscored a core truth guiding this important work shared by our Public Policy & Justice Organizer: “if it was not reported or recorded, it did not happen.” Check out the program HERE.

The segment highlighted how storytelling and documentation shape whose struggles are visible, whose waters are protected, and whose communities are heard. From local watersheds to global water crises, Waterspirit emphasized the role of ethical reporting in protecting environmental and human rights, reminding listeners that education and visibility are forms of protection. The spot invited audiences to connect more intentionally with water stories, recognizing that education and reporting are essential acts of justice and collective accountability. We are so proud of our volunteers who have been attending their local municipal and county level meetings, ensuring their voices are heard as we build power at the state, national and international levels.
