Prairie Rivers Network sits down to talk with Dr. Rachel Havrelock, founder of the Freshwater Lab at the University of Illinois at Chicago. We discuss why the US EPA is failing in its duty to enforce environmental protections and how new, watershed-based political institutions could fill the vacuum. We also touch upon how the COVID-19 crisis echoes and amplifies the legacy of industrial pollution in America.

As Dr. Havrelock said, the closest thing we have to a vaccine right now is washing. No one should have their water shutoff. Urge your governor to enact a moratorium on water shutoffs during the pandemic by going here.
