  • Disruptive Action: How Climate Defiance is changing the game
    Aug 7 2023

    After seeing this new youth-led climate group pop up on social media, we knew that we had to get Climate Defiance on Climate Convos. Youth climate activism has been growing, especially with recent youth climate cases, and the newly-created Climate Defiance group has taken a direct, non-violent, and confrontational course of action. From blockading the White House Correspondents Dinner to shutting down the Congressional luncheon of Deputy National Climate Advisor Mary Repko, Climate Defiance is a new group full of passion and determination. Join us in our discussion with Rylee Haught on what it means to be doing this direct activism and how Climate Defiance came to be.

  • #StopMVP with Matthew Pickett
    Feb 15 2023

    We're back from hiatus! We originally reached out to Matthew Pickett to hear about the work he is doing to protect his community from the Mountain Valley Pipeline when the Inflation Reduction Act was passed in 2022. At the time, it seemed that Senator Manchin might succeed in pushing through the pipeline. Well, life happens and that was a while ago. Senator Manchin did not succeed. However, there has never been a better time to learn about the Mountain Valley Pipeline, as the fight is ongoing. Listen, because we all have a place we call home. #StopMVP.

  • Jokes for the End of the World w/ the Climate Comedy Cohort
    Jul 4 2022

    Can climate change be funny? That's what we're here to find out from the experts, Katie Hannigan (she/her) and Esteban Gast (he/him). If this conversation was any indication, the answer is a resounding — yes. Katie and Esteban are a part of the Climate Comedy Cohort from Generation 180 and Center for Media & Social Impact’s GoodLaugh initiative. Both are impressive performers (catch that time Katie was on Colbert or Esteban had his own TV show) looking to incorporate climate in their work. We know you'll love them as much as we do.
