Grandmothers Who Get Arrested

Just a short time ago, there were far more street protests, including confrontational civil disobedience where folks deliberately got arrested. We talk with two of them about the experience. As they explain, it's not about getting arrested. It's about bringing attention to the climate crisis that they fear will have a terrible impact on their grandchildren's lives. Through them we hear eyewitness accounts of an action that blocked the home of Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker, an action that blocked the Manhattan headquarters of JP Morgan Chase, and an action at the Bow Coal Plant in New Hampshire where there might have been more police than protesters.
