Our stories focus on our rebellion against the climate crisis with a focus on the systems that have brought us to crisis and the complexities\, people\ , and nuances that exist within them.\n\nThis show is rooted in Extinction Rebellion’s four demands: government must declare a climate and ecologi cal emergency\, government must halt biodiversity loss and reduce greenhou se gas emissions to net zero by 2025\, government must be led by the decis ions of a Citizens’ Assembly on climate and ecological justice\, and we must prioritize the most vulnerable people to create a livable planet for all.\n\n**Hosts:**\n\nMatthew Kearney is an active member of Extinction Re bellion's Boston chapter and the Northeast Region.
