Climate Quickie: The firefighter changing wildfire injustice
Description
California’s wildfires have a dirty secret: they are being fought by the incarcerated. Royal Ramey, a wildland firefighter, is working to change that. Joining Climate Curious in conversation live at TED 2024, Royal shares how his nonprofit in California is helping the formerly incarcerated rethink job training and address the challenges they face re-entering the workforce.
