This podcast tells the story of the influential “1in5” and “Go Time” campaigns targeting the five biggest US tech companies: Google, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook and Amazon.
Both Bill Weihl and Jennifer Allyn were in this interview, with Bill providing his input via chat, and Jennifer Allyn spoke on their behalf.
Bill Weihl’s vocal chords have been impacted by ALS but his voice is still louder on climate policy (in his words) “than that of the huge, mega-powerful, multi-billion-dollar global companies that claim to care so deeply about saving our planet.” In this podcast, they discuss the campaigns “1in5” (2020) and “Go Time” (2021-2022), both which focused on the five biggest US tech companies: Google, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook and Amazon – to get them to prioritize climate policy in their top five policy priorities and use their influence and lobbying budgets on the policy debate.
