Saturday's massive climate rally outside of the U.N. climate summit in Glasgow was led by Indigenous frontline activists. We hear from Kathy Jetnil-Kijiner, a poet and climate change activist from the Marshall Islands, and Ugandan climate activist Vanessa Nakate. We did nothing to contribute to this crisis, and we should not have to pay the consequences," said Jetnil-Kijiner. We will survive climate change. We refuse to leave. We refuse to go anywhere. And our sovereignty is not up for debate."
