Act out! Podcast 28 - biking Viking, Syria and think pink with Alli McCracken

This article originally appeared on Occupy.com
This week, grab your bicycle and give cars a well deserved middle finger in a world-wide initiative to cut emissions, get outside, move your ass and interact with your city and people. Next, let's talk Syria and why their story could so easily be ours – I'll give you a hint: climate change. Finally, peace in the middle east might not be a reality but the Iran deal could be – thanks to the tireless work of activists like Alli McCracken, director of Code Pink. And speaking of war and peace, we'll kick off this week by meeting these unknown, unwilling soldiers.
