How is coronavirus affecting the movement to save the planet? This in-depth episode includes perspectives from eight Deep Green Resistance organizers from around the world. We talk about morality, pollution, preparedness, community self-defense, mutual aid, and more.

This episode include poetry by Kim Hill, and three tracks: “Horizons” and “Blood,” both by Scott Buckley, and "Svadhisthana Sacral Chakra Meditation Music" by Beth Quist.
