For a new generation of climate activists, the 50th anniversary of Earth Day is not a day of celebration but a day of mobilization combined with a sober critique of why the ideals of the first Earth Day are still so far from being realized. Gus Speth, co-chair of The Next System Project, was beginning a long career as an environmental activist and leader on the first Earth Day. Dulce Arias is an 18-year-old leader in Youth vs. Apocalypse looking to play a pivotal role in the next 50 years of environmental activism. Together, they discuss what they have learned from the past 50 years and how to apply that knowledge to todayâs climate crisis.

One of the key points of contention in the Democratic Primary race is defining what policies and proposals are âradicalâ and which are âpragmatic.â One primary contender went as far to dismiss a so-called radical agenda as âwish-list economics.â This week Adam Simpson speaks to thought leaders across The Democracy Collaborative and Next System Project to find out precisely what should be on a âwish-listâ for economic transformation. The conversation week ranges from housing to healthcare to finance to climate change and beyondâand why that transformation in those sectors is more practical than moderates are willing to admit.
