Katie is joined by climate change activists, and labor organizers to talk about why they're risking arrest and their jobs. 

First, Katie talks to Chris Falzone, a rank and file United Auto Workers (UAW) member who is on strike at Stellantis’s Toledo Assembly Complex; Marcelina Pedraza, a member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and United Auto Workers Local 551 at Ford Chicago Assembly Plant; and Max Alvarez, a labor journalist,  Editor-in-Chief of The Real News Network, the host of the Working People podcast and author of “The Work of Living Working People Talk about Their Lives and the Year the World Broke.” 

Then Katie talks about climate week with two people who just got arrested blocking the Federal Reserve bank and calling for end to fossil fuel funding: Alicé Nascimento, an organizer, advocate and campaigns director of New York Communities for Change (NYCC), one of the largest community based advocacy organizations in the US; and Arn Menconi, the Founder and former Executive Director of SOS Outreach, one of the country’s largest outdoor experiential youth programs for low income children, a former Colorado County Commissioner and current writer on foreign policy, climate, and social justice.
