Protestors gather in front of Miami Beach City Hall September 20, 2020 to call for climate legislation.

Miami is ground zero for climate change activism. But what do activists really want? Every Friday in Miami Beach, hundreds of protestors take to the streets encouraging politicians to legislate, voters to think and all citizens to up their game at protecting the planet. As one protest sign aptly said “There is no PLANet B.” Reporter Andrew Weaver talks to key Miami leaders for Spartan TV News, on the eve of one of the biggest Climate Change protests in the city.  Produced at Miami Country Day School as part of the Introduction to Journalism class.
