Join Partnership for Southern Equity, and Working Films for the second screening of our monthly film series diving into environmental racism and those who are fighting back. The second virtual screening and discussion will feature: Right to Harm.

To join the event, please go to this link at 6:30pm ET! https://www.workingfilms.org/right-to-harm-7-28/

Right to Harm exposes the devastating public health impact factory farming has on many rural communities throughout the United States. Filmed across the country, the documentary chronicles the failures of state agencies to protect communities against the harms of industrial animal agriculture. Known formally as Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations – or CAFOs – these facilities produce millions of gallons of untreated waste that destroys the quality of life for nearby neighbors. Fed up with the lack of safeguards, these citizens band together to demand justice from their legislators.

A discussion & Q&A will follow the film featuring:

Naeema Muhammad, featured in Right to Harm is Organizing Co-Director of the North Carolina Environmental Justice Network. The Network promotes health and environmental equality for all people of North Carolina through community action for clean industry, safe work places, and fair access to all human and natural resources. Naeema has worked tirelessly to hold the hog industry accountable for the pollution it produces that disproportionately impacts the lives of African Americans living in rural North Carolina counties.
