Chris Hayes, host of MSNBC's "All In", partners with MSNBC's Long Form unit in producing a call to action on climate change.

"The Politics of Power with Chris Hayes" was produced by Peacock Productions in association with MSNBC. Betsy Wagner was the senior producer for Peacock Productions. Timothy Smith was the senior producer for MSNBC Long Form. Michael Rubin is MSNBC Long Form's Vice president and Scott Hooker is the Senior Executive Producer.
