Our first episode finds us in the ancient city of Roma, checking in with members of the Extinction Rebellion Roma chapter. We find ourselves sharing tea and coffee in the average Italian kitchen, trading stories about the climate movement across the ocean.Members shared with us what inspired them to get active about preserving the environment, the air, water, and soil…. And finally, the conversation takes a turn to address the rising concerns of the suppression of free speech and the rise of far-right conservatives: ‘fascists’ in both of our countries. The Italians share deep concerns about the political health of our countries, the future of our movement, and the global climate.Sign up to find out more or to join Extinction Rebellion https://www.xrebellion.nychttps://rebellion.global/groups/it-venezia/https://rebellion.global/it/groups/it-roma/ Hosted on Acast.
