Your Call: How young people are reshaping the environmental movement

On the first Your Call of 2018, we'll be joined by a panel of young environmental activists from around the Bay Area to discuss the state of the environmental movement.  How are they connecting global crises with local action? What did they accomplish in 2017 and what's at the top of their agenda for the new year?

Guests:

Kyle Lemle, founder and co-director of the Thrive Choir

Daisy Romero, member of the Local Governments for Sustainability

Seth Alston, environmental activist with a fossil fuel divestment campaign
