On today’s episode, Rachel Vindman, Jasmine Clark, and Amanda Weinstein catch up after the Thanksgiving holiday to talk about some pretty big topics: climate change, Covid, and justice. As Jasmine points out, the United States isn’t a castle surrounded by a moat and a big wall… we live in an interconnected world and how we tackle issues like vaccinations and climate change will make a huge difference not just to folks in America but to the entire globe.They’re joined by Allie Kelly, executive director of The Ray, a climate nonprofit dedicated to finding solutions to our current highways systems. Allie shares The Ray’s ethos that “we can do well by doing good.” And after that, Rachel sits down with internationally recognized climate justice leader Elizabeth Yeampierre. The two of them chat about her organization UPROSE, how to talk to our kids about climate change, and how climate justice IS racial justice.Finally, our hosts raise a glass to justice and to Amanda’s brand-new op-ed in this episode’s “Toast to Joy.”Do you feel like you could use some support figuring out how to respond to anti-mask, anti-vax, or anti-CRT messaging in your community?
