Our final episode is an “intergenerational” conversation where creators and co-hosts Amanda Harvey-Sánchez and Julia DaSilva invite a couple people from each of the prior episodes to meet one another and talk about key themes from the podcast, where they are now, and possible next steps for the climate justice movement. Our guests are Stuart Basden, Keara Lightning, Ben Donato-Woodger, Kristine, Rivka Goetz, and Léo Jourdan. 
This mini series emerges from Amanda’s doctoral research with CJTO, a two-year ethnographic community-based participatory research project tentatively entitled “Actualizing Everything: Affective Activism, Effective Politics, and the Future of Climate Justice Organizing in Canada”.
