In this conversation our host, Sam Eilertsen, speaks with climate-organizer Kaniela Ing. Kaniela is a Native Hawaiian, a former State Legislator in Hawaii, and the current Climate Justice Campaigns Director at People's Action. Kaniela and Sam discuss Kaniela's conservative upbringing in rural Hawaii, Kaniela's vision of what a Green New Deal for Hawaii could look like, the gridlock around President Biden's American Jobs Plan--and why Progressives need to keep fighting to make sure climate stays in the legislation, plus much more!
