Divesting Is The First Step: Daniel Zarrilli & Clara Vondrich

Power politics and the politics of power - this time on the show, we talk with New York City’s Chief Resilience Officer, Daniel Zarrilli, about the decision to divest from fossil fuels and Clara Vondrich of Divest/Invest, one of the activist groups that helped make it happen. And journalist, Christian Parenti, author of "If We Fail" and "Tropic of Chaos" explains why he thinks we don’t demand enough of government, but extreme weather asks that we demand more.  Music featured: “Climate Change Blues” by the Stop Shopping Choir.  Support theLFShow at our website
