What We Need Now

About What We Need Now

"What We Need Now," the monthly podcast by Greenpeace USA, is where you can learn about the work grassroots leaders are doing from the leaders themselves. Each episode, the hosts explore a different topic related to the intersections of climate, racial and environmental justice, and our movement for a green and peaceful future, and pass the mic to local leaders who are fighting for the world we want to see. Greenpeace is an independent, campaigning organization which uses non-violent, creative confrontation to expose global environmental problems, and to force the solutions which are essential to a green and peaceful future.

   Surviving Trump - Round 2

   With attacks on DEI, the erasure of Black history, and the rollback of progress, how do we protect Black peace, joy, and excellence in the years ahead? In this minisode of What We Need Now, we break down real ways to resist and maintain sanity -- through community, rest, joy, political action, and economic empowerment. From unplugging when needed... to prioritizing Black-owned businesses and passing down our history, we’re tapping into the resilience that has always carried us forward. Tune in for tangible steps, empowering resources, and a reminder that we are not just surviving -- we are thriving. 🎧 Listen now and join the movement.
