That is, if it gets through Congress. In this episode, Host Leah Stokes speaks with a variety of guests who are part of the broad coalition supporting the proposal.The episode features Jamie DeMarco and Quentin Scott from Chesapeake Climate Action Network, Lauren Maunus from The Sunrise Movement, Hip Hop Caucus CEO Rev. Lennox Yearwood and West Virginia Rivers Coalition Director Angie Rossers. Resources:The #Call4Climate homepageChesapeake Climate Action Network Homepage The Data For Progress Poll Results on Voter Support for a CESFollow our co-hosts and production team:Leah StokesKatharine WilkinsonStephen LaceyJaime KaiserA Matter of Degrees is a production of Post Script Audio.
