Description
Let's be honest: there is no additional federal climate action coming anytime soon in the United States unless Democrats hold majorities in both houses of Congress with a Democratic president in the White House. The Republican Party still has made no substantial effort on climate action. So, this episode is a partisan one. With less than a month to go before the crucial 2022 midterm elections, we ask a critical questions - can Democrats hold on to power in Congress? To help answer that question are two political commentators and podcasters we love.

Then, Steve Pierson, host of How We Win, joins the show to discuss how progressives rally and organize to earn more electoral victories at this critical moment.
