🌊 Panel Overview: Podcasting for Narrative Change in Southern Water’s Future

This panel aims to empower Southern Water Call members and water advocates in the South to drive critical narrative change around Southern water issues through the strategic use of accessible media outlets, such as podcasts. Given the South’s unique media landscape and diverse communities, podcasts offer an especially vital vehicle for reaching and empowering local voices often underrepresented in traditional media. This panel discussion will provide actionable steps for creating impactful content, guide new creators on how to get started with limited resources, and explore pathways for experienced content creators to mentor and amplify emerging voices, recognizing the urgent need for a unified narrative in the current federal administration’s water policy landscape.

🎙️ Meet Our Distinguished Panelists

We are excited to bring together a group of passionate and experienced voices who are actively shaping the narrative around water issues through innovative media.

About the Southern Water Call

The Southern Water Call is the bi-monthly meeting of the Southern Regional Workgroup within the Water Equity and Climate Resilience (WECR) Caucus. Co-chaired by Bayou City Waterkeeper and The Water Collaborative of New Orleans, this workgroup unites water justice organizations across the South.

Our collective mission is to establish policy priorities, provide essential support for Southern-based water organizations, and advocate for communities of color, low-income populations, and frontline communities. Through our meetings, we collaboratively set principles and goals, advance policy initiatives, enable peer learning, strengthen and expand existing water and climate justice movements, and develop a unified regional federal policy agenda.
