Women vs. Toxic Chemicals

Mrs. Green talks with Erin Switalski, Executive Director, Women’s Voices for the Earth (WVE), formed by a group of visionary women leaders in Missoula, Montana in 1995. Seeing that many environmental organizations at the time failed to include women in leadership positions and did not fully recognize the systemic connections between health, class, race, and the environment, WVE sought to create a new environmental organization led by women. Their aim is to amplify women’s voices to eliminate the toxic chemicals that harm our health and communities.
