The effort to Stop Line 3 is inspired by the idea of climate justice -among many other factors. This leads to a discussion of what a just energy transition should look like. We chat with a MN activist about how to build the future.

Because we recognize the necessity of personal accountability for our actions, because we accept responsibility for a building a durable future and because we believe it is our patriotic duty as citizens to speak out, we must insist the United States transform it’s energy sector, over the next decade, under a just and equitable plan, that uses regulations, investments and a price on carbon to safeguard our collective future.

Thanks for listening.
