Jo Banner and Joy Banner, co-founders of The Descendants Project appear in the Hip Hop Caucus' "Big Oil's Last Lifeline" Part 2 - New Orleans documentary.
"Big Oil's Last Lifeline" is a three-part documentary series sounding the alarm on the petrochemical industry’s impact on Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities. There are environmental and climate injustices happening all over the planet, but particularly along the Gulf Coast of the Mississippi River and the Ohio River Valley. These injustices have strategically targeted low-income communities where the majority of black and brown U.S. citizens call home.
