Yessenia Funes is a Salvadorian-American activist, poet and journalist that specializes in covering the intersection where race and the environment meet."The systemic racism that fuels police brutality is the same beast that puts polluters in the backyards of BIPOC communities. It's the same monster that has ended too many lives too soon amid the coronavirus pandemic. Racial justice is climate justice," she explains on her Instagram feed.
