The Intercept presents "A Message from the Future," a film narrated by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and illustrated by Molly Crabapple. It envisions a future where a Green New Deal succeeds, rejecting an inevitable climate dystopia. The film asks: what if we chose radical change to save ourselves?

This production tackles skepticism that humanity can achieve such transformative change. It flips the script, showing humanity believing in its ability to save itself. As Ocasio-Cortez says, "our future has not been written yet, and we can be whatever we have the courage to see."

Naomi Klein's "This Changes Everything," a Guardian Docs feature published March 6, 2015, details her pivotal realization: climate change is inextricably linked to inequality. Initially not her primary focus, this connection transformed her perspective.

The film highlights examples like Alberta's tar sands, where Canadian government policies led to environmental destruction and a boom in Fort McMurray. Indigenous communities, alongside global activists, protested these impacts. This raises a crucial question: how can diverse movements worldwide unite to tackle both climate change and inequality?

The call to action is clear: build an organic network of resistance. Get involved and speak out to foster collective change.
