This week, we talk to Dr. Mustafa Santiago Ali about the concerns of the most vulnerable and front-line communities during COVID-19. He talks to us about the connection between air pollution and COVID-19 deaths and how communities face additional dangers as the worst weather 2020 is likely on its way.
Then, we talk about the newly-launched organization Climate Power 2020 with Executive Director Lori Lodes. She tells us how her group plans to improve climate messaging during the upcoming election.
Ty and Brock also talk about April's record-setting temperature.
