Environmental Injustice, Energy Policy & the Power of Law with Morgan Ann Johnson

In this powerful episode of Rooted: Women, Earth & Eco-Justice, we sit down with environmental attorney Morgan Ann Johnson, whose journey into climate advocacy began long before law school.

Morgan shares how her early exposure to environmental injustice shaped her worldview and commitment to fighting for cleaner, safer, and more prosperous communities.

Morgan's story is one of deep resilience and strategic impact.

In this episode we explore her advocacy before major federal agencies like FERC and the DOE, and her reflections on navigating the legal world as a Black woman committed to justice. (Note: this episode was recorded when Morgan was with her former employer, NRDC.)

This conversation unpacks not only the complexities of energy policy and environmental law, but the personal and political roots that anchor Morgan in her work today.
