In this episode hosted and co-produced by Aly Ferguson, we spoke with Xavier Boatright — an environmental justice organizer and researcher who currently holds the position of Strategic Partnerships Director at Conservation Voters of South Carolina (CVSC), where he works to strengthen the conservation and environmental movement in his home state of South Carolina. Xavier shares his experience growing up on a farm, getting drafted into and playing for the NFL, spending time organizing for disability justice after a football career-ending injury, and going up against Duke Energy with his community in an environmental justice success story.
