Get ready for a very special episode!! 
 
For the first 30' I speak to Will, Sam from Cambridge Climate Justice and Bracken from the Organisation of Radical Climate Activists. 
We cover their organisations’ principles (5') , what activism involves from paperwork to how to talk to police (7') , the police, public and media (10'), tactics (15') current campaigns (18'), the university's role (22') and the importance of silliness and hope (23')  
For the last 20', Chiara, recently arrested for spray painting Kings College, talks me through their work with Just Stop Oil (30'), the dire state we’re truly in (32'), emotional realisation of the news (37'), their protesting (38') and their solutions and what you can do (41') and the government's action in all the wrong places (46')!
