Summary

John once again presents this week's Native American segment "We're Still Here" with Simon Moya-Smith and Julie Francella. This time they discuss indigenous traditions, how Trump's illegal immigration round-up is also targeting Native Americans, and former interior secretary Deb Haaland running for Governor of New Mexico. Next he interviews Dr. Sweta Chakraborty who is a globally recognized risk and behavioral scientist and expert on global risks ranging from climate change to COVID-19. She is a trusted authority on proactive preparedness to mitigate against the impacts of climate change, motivated by the need for clear, credible, evidence-based communication. And lastly, John speaks with KD Chavez, executive director of the Climate Justice Alliance. She is a revolutionary organizer and strategist, who leads by way of ancestral knowledge and the land. They have spent the last decade in social justice philanthropy moving millions to the frontlines and working to advance freedom through culture shift and intentional investments.
