Welcome to Communicating Care, a podcast of the Just Transition Collaborative at the University of Colorado Boulder where we talk about the ways environmental and climate justice advocacy are motivated by, express, and foster care. On this podcast we listen more deeply to people who have made headlines for making a difference to learn from their insights for successful creative climate communication behavior change.

I'm the host ,Professor Phaedra Pezzullo and, today, our guest is José Toscano Bravo, the co-founder and co-director of the Just Transition Alliance. He was born in Mexico and the US Mexico border about 15 minutes from where he now lives in southern California. He was raised in the US, alongside his parents who worked in avocado fields. Since the 1990s, Jose has been recognized as a leader in the environmental justice movement and the movement towards a just transition.
