Planeta G is back for Season 2 where we’re telling the powerful, real stories of community members and activists fighting on the ground to stop the devastating impacts of oil extractions near their home.

Valentina is back to talk all about the intersections between the environmental movement and our Latinx identity. In a 3 part mini series, we will explore Kern County, California and beyond. California is almost 40% Latinx (that is over 15 million people!). It is also where so much of the country’s agriculture happens, and where oil extraction operates dangerously close to schools, homes, and hospitals.

Facing the simultaneous challenges of fossil fuel racism and being in the center of the climate crisis (experiencing extreme heat, fires, climate migration), Kern County farmworker communities are facing interconnected and deliberate capitalist crises on all fronts. This mini series explores what is happening and why, and what we can do about it.
