Karl Marx and the Tennessee State Legislature
The Tennessee State Legislature has been up to no good, so we decided to give y'all a bit of an update...with a twist. Cassie updates us on a few highlights (or lowlights) of what they've been up to while Hale puts everything into the context of a broader, approachable, Marxist perspective. Sunrise Movement isn't just pushing for progress on climate change, we are trying to realign the nation to a place where people are culturally receptive to the socialist(ish) underpinnings of the Green New Deal, which is why understanding what's underneath the actions of the status quo Republicans are doing is so crucial.

Grading Biden
Rick Herron, climate guru and Hub Coordinator for Sunrise Nashville, joins Owen and Cassie to help us grade how the Biden Administration has done so far, and what we would still like to see. We are cautiously optimistic but still have a long...LONG way to go.

The Intersectionality Between Climate and Reproductive Justice
Hosts Isabella and Hale speak with Osub Ahmed, a senior analyst at the Center for American Progress, on the intersection between the climate crisis and reproductive rights. This is often an overlooked subject both in media and day-to-day conversations. That's why we decided to dig deep and dissect the important relationship between the two.

Tennessean Insurrectionists and the Importance of Antifascism
Journalists Abby Lee Hood and Matt Bastin join to talk about Tennesseans' involvement in the undemocratic coup attempt by MAGA insurrectionists that took place at our Capitol last week. We explore the moment we are in and where to go from here, including how it is more important now than ever to include antifascism into everything we do. Not only is supporting antifascism the right thing to do, but we will never pass a Green New Deal or any other progressive legislation if we don't both practice antifascism and push for democratic reforms.
