The crises we face are intertwined, so it has to be our solutions too. The THRIVE Agenda - a resolution introduced in Congress with more than 100 co-sponsors - is a plan that aims to put millions of people back to work to build an economy that puts climate, race and economic justice first. This Fire Drill Friday we'll hear from Randi Weingarten, Juanita Lewis, and Anthony Rogers-Wright how grassroots leaders and congressmen worked hand in hand to develop a plan that puts people and the planet before corporate profits.
