TRANSCRIPT:
HIRSI: "So, there is a beautiful urban forest in Atlanta that is currently being given to local police, state police, and surrounding police departments to basically create a neighborhood to where they practice of raiding people, practice — it's a training facility for police and it will create so many homes that nobody will get to live in, and devastate an entire forest that is one of the largest and also one of the blackest cities in America. So, in a lot of ways, this act of violence is not only racist, but it's also engaging in environmental racism. And it just showcases the intersections between the state, climate and also just, like, our own identities."
