E22: Land & Water - Climate Change & the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election

#podcast #election2024 #community #climatechange
We’re getting realer about the upcoming election and the pressing issues that are shaping it.

Melony and Derek explore evolving sources of power, both political and natural. As climate change accelerates, they question the value of land and mobility, and how these elements shape Black freedom. It’s a complex web of questions about capital, community, and the future of our environment.

As they discuss the stakes of the election, the role of government, and the impact of climate change on our lives, they’re also challenging themselves - and listeners - to think about what they truly value.
