WATCH: Naomi Klein Hosts and Greta Thunberg Headlines 'Right to a Future' Event in NYC

People around the U.S. and across the globe are being invited to tune in Monday night as Canadian author and activist Naomi Klein hosts a forum in New York City featuring youth and indigenous leaders of the global climate movement, including Vic Barrett, Xiye Bastida, Tuntiak Katan, Xiuhtezcatl Martinez, and Greta Thunberg.
