Summary
Senator Turner speaks with author and environmental activist Naomi Klein. Both agree that while all systems are collapsing (economic, social, racial, etc.), we must begin a process of repair –starting with Mother Earth (because trauma creates change! #HelloSomebody). This episode is special. Recorded in July 2020, you’ll hear the pain of loss in their voices due to the end of the Bernie Sanders campaign, the real depression that comes from being sucked into the hateful and evil vortex that Twitter can be, and of course, life. Listen with an ear of hope; these nuggets from the not-so-distant past provide hope for this urgent moment today.
