"If the world is to be saved, it will be saved by those who care deeply for very small places."
In 2012, New York City got a massive wake up call: Superstorm Sandy devastated parts of the city and forever changed how we think about severe weather. But... did it change how we actually handle these events? This season, host Christina Thompson sets out to answer that very question and understand just what climate resiliency looks like in her own backyard. Follow along as she connects with grassroots groups across New York City to learn about the innovative, inspiring, and collaborative ways they’re protecting their communities. From Red Hook to the Bronx, each episode features people who care deeply for their neighborhoods — and lessons for anyone who wants to take action today.

S3 E7: “We're going to be loud about this until something's done.”
We’ve heard from so many amazing individuals and organizations that are mobilizing on the grassroots level, but how do they harness all of that local power and get things done legislatively? Christina speaks to Lonnie Portis, the New York Policy and Advocacy Manager at WE ACT for Environmental Justice. Lonnie shares the key to getting things done at the policy level. Then, Christina sits down with Louise Yeung, the Chief Climate Officer with the Comptroller’s office to ask whether New York is putting its money where its mouth is when it comes to climate solutions and environmental justice.
