episode 19: Climate Justice is Social Justice with Isra Hirsi
This week, as Greta arrives in New York after her 2 week long sailing journey to the UN, Christiana, Paul, and Tom weigh in on how the world is feeling a collective shift in momentum from national movements to global movements. Later on in the episode Tom sits down with Isra Hirsi, Executive Director of US Youth Climate Strike and daughter of US Congresswoman, Ilhan Omar. We ask her what it's like to be 16 and running a successful activist organization, and we get her thoughts on intersectional representation within the global climate change movement.
