Bautista explains how these inequities affect housing, transportation, heat exposure, and public health, while highlighting grassroots organizing and policy wins such as congestion pricing and New York State’s landmark climate law. The conversation underscores both the urgency of addressing environmental injustice and cautious optimism about future progress through stronger implementation, investment, and community-led solutions.
