Rebuilding Better

Audio edited & mixed by CJ Mattia

ICYMI (or prefer to listen), last month I spoke with Mother Jones disability reporter Julia Métraux and Tulane associate professor Jesse M. Keenan about what it would mean to rebuild better after a climate disaster—for ourselves, and our most vulnerable communities.

safety pin publishes approximately two times per month, sharing written and audio work on the intersections of climate change, chronic illness, and disability justice. If you value this work, please consider liking our posts, becoming a subscriber, and/or supporting by becoming a paid subscriber. Unfortunately this app doesn’t allow sliding scale subscriptions, so if you’d like to contribute at a lower fee than $5 per month or $55 per year, you can make a one time donation via venmo (@ fionalowenstein), or set up recurring monthly donations at Zelle (fionalowenstein@gmail.com). Funds go toward compensating our podcast producer, covering operational costs like Zoom and paid transcription services, and will hopefully allow me to eventually pay myself fairly for this work and bring in other talented trans and/or disabled collaborators.
