Imagining a brighter future for our climate with Stacey Abrams and Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson

Last month, as part of Climate Week in New York City, Mother Jones and a few other organizations hosted an in-depth conversation about imagining a better future for our climate, one where we can find hope and motivation for continued action, and where climate solutions are already taking root. The event featured Stacey Abrams (Rewiring America) and Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson (Urban Ocean Lab) discussing climate solutions and the need to exercise one’s climate voice as a voter. They even found joy in the moment with an impromptu rendition of Prince’s song "7." Anti-disciplinary artist Aisha Shillingford (Intelligent Mischief) also guided an interactive visioning exercise to help collectively articulate the climate futures we want and how we can start building them now.   Imagining a brighter future for our climate with Stacey Abrams and Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson [Better Worlds Ahead]( Dear Mother Jones Reader, Last month, as part of Climate Week in New York City, [Mother Jones]( and a few other organizations hosted an in-depth conversation about imagining a better future for our climate, one where we can find hope and motivation for continued action, and where climate solutions are already taking root.
