Jill Stein on the Fertile Grounds for Revolution

This week on Sprouts, we will hear from a rare breed of politician: a woman who not only can admit our political system is broken, and our home planet cries for radical change, but who is dedicated to building a movement around making it through the diminishing window of opportunity for life on Earth. Jill Stein is the Green Party’s 2016 candidate for president of the United States. She is an organizer, physician, and pioneering environmental health advocate. She has led initiatives promoting healthy communities, local green economies and the revitalization of democracy–addressing issues such as campaign finance reform, green jobs, racially-just redistricting, and the cleanup of incinerators, coal plants, and toxics. She was a principal organizer for the Global Climate Convergence for People, Planet and Peace over Profit.
