Description

Welcome to Green and Red Podcast! In this episode, we dive into the controversy of the new Michael Moore produced film 'Planet of the Humans.' We're joined by long time climate justice organizer Ananda Lee Tan (@anandalee).  But we also, importantly, go into the history and politics of the North American climate and climate justice movements. 
Ananda has been on the frontlines of environmental, labor, anti-capitalist and climate justice organizing for almost forty years. He's worked for big green groups on their global campaigns, scrappy direct action groups and co-convened the Climate Justice Alliance, a network of frontline, black, brown, Indigenous and low income environmental and climate justice groups across the U.S. Originally from the community of Santiniketan, Ananda presently lives on the territories of the Coast Salish First Nations in the Pacific Northwest.
