About this Event
Not all communities in Dallas breathe clean air. West Dallas and Joppa have been plagued with environmental injustices for decades. Local Dallas documentary film makers Jake Hochendoner and Jonathan Johnson have followed two campaigns led by Downwinders at Risk and resident organizations in both communities, to combat those injustices since 2020.
"TOXIC TWINS" weaves together the legacy of environmental racism in Dallas, how it persists today and how communities are fighting back. Join us this Earth Day to learn more and plug into the fights happening right in your back yard. Watch the trailer below for more.
Downwinders at Risk is a DFW based environmental justice nonprofit that fights for clean air and a stronger democracy through community organizing.
