Description
In this conversation (the second of two parts) oral historian, filmmaker, and GenGND story consultant Maggie Lemere speaks with Samoan youth climate activist Brianna Fruean and Thelma Young-Lutunatabua of 350.org. Brianna and Thelma launched a newsletter and online space called Radical Reimagining, which tries to look beyond the potential dystopias in our future and instead look at the ways in which a better world is possible, and look for communities where it is already starting to emerge. In this second half of the conversation Maggie, Thelma and Brianna discuss the relationship between the US climate movement and the Green New Deal and the international climate movement, along with their vision of what a Green New Deal could look like.Support GenGND: https://www.patreon.com/generationgndSubscribe to Radical Reimagining: https://radicalreimagining.substack.com/Subscribe to GenGND's newsletter: https://generationgnd.substack.com/subscribeEpisode transcript & more available at: www.generationgreennewdeal.com
