Saturday, I have the honor of being a part of two great things. The first is joining protesters at a rally in D.C. as part of the Tar Sands Actions that have been going on since Aug. 20 in front of the White House.

Grist State of Emergency | A limited-run newsletter from Grist, exploring the ways climate disasters are reshaping elections. Delivered every Tuesday until Election Day.

The second is that I’ll be on a radio show called Mrs. Green’s World. The show airs live from 3 to 4 p.m. EST (noon Pacific). The program is based out of Tucson, Ariz.

We’ll be talking about some of your favorite topics from my column and the tar-sands protests.

Happy Labor Day weekend!

Excitedly,
