Nick and Steve read and discuss the People's Agreement of Cochabamba, one of the most important documents on climate action and climate change that you may not have heard of before.  The fact that we don't hear these important words from indigenous people has everything to do with a global system of racism, colonialism and imperialism dominated by the US and its junior imperial partners.  We hear more about something like the Green New Deal because it doesn't dare do what the People's Agreement does: name Imperialism as the primary foe in the climate fight.
