Why ExxonMobil Is Getting Away With This in Texas | Graham Elwood

In this video, Graham Elwood examines an Intercept report by Sharon Lerner detailing environmental racism in Beaumont, Texas, where a predominantly Black community has been subjected to toxic emissions from an ExxonMobil refinery for 17 years. Graham discusses the failure of the EPA to investigate citizen complaints, corporate environmental injustice, the intersection of race and class in industrial pollution, and why corporate media ignores these grassroots struggles.
