The climate crisis is now, but President Biden is missing the moment. “We need Joe Biden to do better, because we need climate action to succeed. There is no choice.” » @NomikiKonst

Sara Nelson, the President of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, AFL-CIO, talks about the state of the airline industry and gives a grade to the start of Joe Biden’s presidency, with regards to labor. “We have to at least take this moment to define why this was a problem, and say never again.” » @FlyingWithSara

Symone Baptiste and Hadas Thier talk about how Biden can be a better feminist by liking economic issues to women’s issues, discuss where the pressure points are for the new administration, and how to create change on a local level.
