Host(s): Frieda Werden
Featured Speakers/Guests: Julia Olson, founder, Executive Director and Chief Legal Counsel of Our Children's Trust, and lead plaintiff on the lawsuit; Kelsey Juliana, the plaintiff for whom the case is named; Jaden from Louisiana, Avery from Oregon, and Victoria from New York state - all young plaintiffs.
