The Intercept presents "A Message from the Future," a film narrated by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and illustrated by Molly Crabapple. It envisions a future where a Green New Deal succeeds, rejecting an inevitable climate dystopia. The film asks: what if we chose radical change to save ourselves?

This production tackles skepticism that humanity can achieve such transformative change. It flips the script, showing humanity believing in its ability to save itself. As Ocasio-Cortez says, "our future has not been written yet, and we can be whatever we have the courage to see."

Jade, an 18-year-old from North Carolina, is actively combating Colony Collapse Disorder and promoting bee conservation. Through her Pollinator Initiative, she establishes apiaries and pollinator parks in local schools, aiming to replicate her successful high school model across the area.

She has secured grant funding and organized students to become certified beekeepers with local support. Since April 2017, bees introduced to the White Oak area have been maintained pesticide-free. Jade's efforts highlight the importance of honey bees in the ecosystem and educate students about declining bee populations and beekeepers.
