Our second season's first episode –– hosted by Greenpeace’s own Democracy Campaigner Jonathan (they/them) and Actions Team Member Rico (he/him) –– kicks off answering questions of not only what we need now, but what we expect now. The show features special guest Brittny Baxter (she/her), Movement Building Coordinator and Trainer with the Democracy Initiative.

On the season finale of What We Need Now, the full production team behind the podcast (Rico Sisney, Lauren Wiggins, Jasmine Conwell, Jonathan Butler and Ishmael Herod) looks back at the overarching themes of Season 1 and shares their hopes for the new year.

This month Rico, Lauren and guest Brianna Gibson, Director of Action Strategy and Training for The Blackout collective, discuss non-violent direct action and how it is and has been a critical part of pushing our movements forward.

On this episode we discuss youth activism and leadership across the occupied United States.

Rico speaks with Isha Clarke and Dulce Arias from Youth Vs. Apocalypse about their work to tackle climate change and how they're using music to connect the 2020 election to their long term agenda, with their new song and video, "This is the Time."

On the first episode of What We Need Now, we explore Environmental racism and how Covid has made its impacts even greater. We interview multi-disciplinary performance artist, activist/community organizer and writer Adwoa Addae about why we need to feel to get through it all.

Greenpeace USA's new podcast invites grassroots leaders and directly impacted communities who are doing the work to do the talking. Learn more about the upcoming show in this trailer and by texting "What We Need Now" to 877-877
