John,

Last month we shared that the Beyond Coal campaign, with the support of
Bloomberg Philanthropies, has retired 60% of the coal-fired power plants in
America -- and is on track to close 100% by 2030.

That's obviously great news for the planet. But it also brings a range of
other benefits: avoiding billions of dollars in health care costs, fighting
environmental racism by cleaning the air in communities of color, and saving
thousands of lives.

In the episode, you'll hear from three environmental leaders: Antha Williams,
global head of Climate and Environment programs at Bloomberg Philanthropies,
Mary Anne Hitt, the Sierra Club's national director of campaigns, and Reverend
Lennox Yearwood, the president and CEO of Hip Hop Caucus.

They talk about the progress that has been made, the importance of "people
power" in keeping it going, and why, as Reverend Yearwood says, closing coal
plants "means life and death" for millions of Americans -- especially people of
color.

With a majority of registered voters in the United States saying that climate
change will be an important issue in the presidential election, they also
discuss how the spotlight is (finally) on climate change, and why it is
critical to support climate champions up and down the ballot.
