About This Episode

Transcript

When she was just 22, Disha Ravi, co-founder of Fridays for Future in India, had police show up at her home, borrow a pen and paper to write an arrest warrant on the spot, and bundle her onto a plane to fly across the country to a city she'd never been to. Here she explains what happened, how it's still impacting her two years later, and why she'll never let it stop her activism or force her out of India.

An extended version of this interview will run in partnership with the Heated newsletter next week, as the G20 Summit gets underway in Delhi.
