On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to a teacher who has joined Extinction Rebellion, Tim Jones, about the Global Climate Strikes, what Extinction Rebellion’s demands are in fighting climate change, how democracy is central to the movement, and the role of children and young people in the climate strikes. Next, we speak to progressive Democratic candidate Lawrence Nathaniel, running in South Carolina’s SC-D2 district, about the Green New Deal, the rise of AOC and the progressives in the party, the DNC’s hostility towards progressivism, and why he can no longer support Joe Biden. Finally, we speak to Humphrey Milles, the founder of COPI and addresspollution.org about the true cost of air pollution on our NHS, its rising lethality, how Oxford Circus is one of the most dangerous places for air pollution and how it must be tackled.
