Environmental justice isn t just a buzzword or hashtag for Dr. Beverly Wright it s what helps her get out of bed every morning. For the last 35 years, fighting for her Louisiana community s access to a healthy and safe environment has been her mission, and it s put her in rooms with the last three Democratic presidents.
