We're bringing you a special one hour episode on the climate actions that happened in Washington DC this past week and weekend.

We're bringing you exclusive footage, images and interviews from the front lines of the fight for people and planet – over profit. Perspectives you may not have considered, stories you haven't heard from people and communities you haven't heard Of. From North Dakota, from the borderlands of Texas, from Washington state, the Carolinas, California, Utah, from right here in DC – from the farmer in Pennsylvania to the water protector at Standing Rock - indigenous, undocumented, black, white, young, old, and all that lies in between and beyond. From art spaces to the streets – from government agencies to the White House, it's all about people power and climate justice.
