Hey, thanks for helping me
with these protest signs.

Look, I know it's 6 a.m.
on a Saturday morning,

but we have to protect
the environment.

This is our
neighborhood.

You know I got your back,
bestie, but...

I kind of need a restie.

What?

It's 6 a.m.
You're not gonna get, like, my best material.

Don't get tired.
Get inspired.

Remember, afterward
we'll stop for Iconic Donuts on me.

Mm. I do love me
a maple log.

[both laugh]

Oh, hey, Mom.
What are you doing up?

Well, I'm the mama.

When the kids are up,
the mama's up.

The real question is,

what are you two
doing up so early?

Oh, we're making signs
for the big protest

-at City Hall, Ms. B.
-Yeah.

They're tearing down the old
Greendale High building,

and converting it
into a dump.

A dump in the middle
of our neighborhood.

That's environmental
discrimination.

-That stinks.
-Yeah.

Yeah, but a...
a protest at City Hall?

You're not going to that.

What? Why?

I'm sorry.
When did "what" and "why"

come after,
"I said you're not going to that."

Nia, this dump thing has been
on the news for a month now.

It is a hot topic, and things
can get pretty out of hand.

I don't want you mixed up
in all that stuff. There--

There's a lot of people
that are upset.

Yeah. People like me, and Tess.

When she's awake. Tess!

T-Tess?

Did we win?

"Did we win?"

-[murmurs] Mm?
-Mom.

We have to go to that protest.

If we don't,
how are we ever gonna make things change?

You want change?

Why didn't you
tell me that, sweetheart? Here.

Hold up. Wait.
You can check in the cushion--

Here's a nickel.
Save a whale.

I just don't understand
why my mom doesn't see

how important this is.

I mean, she's just going to let
them destroy our neighborhood?

Whoa. I love you, but,
destroy our neighborhood?

That's a lot, Nia.
Protesters aren't going to change anything.

Uh, not with that attitude.

-I always have this attitude.
-I know.

But not now.

Tess, you've gotta be
part of the solution. Not the problem.

I'm not part of the problem.

It's going to be
five miles away from us.

That seems pretty far
for me to be concerned about.

-Yeah, five miles.
-Mm-hmm.

Just imagine,
it's like summertime,

and summertime heat,

and you're up here playing
basketball, and...

the wind just delivers you
a nice bouquet of poopy diapers.

Uck! Way to make it real.

Yeah.

-Okay, you got me...
-Great.

but your mom already
shut it down.

How are you going to
change her mind?

You're right.

Before I even attempt
to convince her,

I've gotta hone in
on my powers of persuasion.

-Mm-hmm.
-I've gotta convince somebody

who's just as stubborn
as she is.

Hmmph. Where's Booker?

[laughs]
Hey, Rae.

Hey. Does everybody
get up early on Saturdays now?

I signed up for the 10-hour
STEM challenge.

We had to pick this stuff up.

Oh, wow. Challenge
on the weekends, Levi?

Now you're just showing off.

Tell her what the project is.

My STEM project is to create
something from these parts.

And, man, they're serious
about challenging me,

because look at this.

A flotation device,
reflectors,

some canvas...

This is impossible.

Uh-uh. Levi,
nothing's impossible.

Let me see this.

Okay, well...

Oh. Yeah. Yeah, you got
some challenging pieces, but, hey!

Hey, I bet you can, uh,
sew something interesting with this canvas.

Sewing is not STEM, Auntie Rae.

STEM stands for "Science,
Technology, Engineering, and Math."

Yeah, I'm gonna have
to agree with Levi, Rae.

Otherwise, I woke up early
just to pick up a box of trash.

STEM should stand for
"Sewing..."

Uh, "Tacking, Embroidering,
and Measuring." Why?

Because sewing is engineering,

and constructing garments
is science,

and yo' Auntie is magic.

Ha!

I could use some magic.
Will you help me?

Chelsea:
Yeah!

Yeah, Rae, I think only
good things can...

"STEM" from this connection.

-You get it? Because--
-Because yay! We got a project!

-Nia: Book, you in there?

Um, uh, Booker's not here.

He's somewhere else
in the house.

Go find him.

Nia:
I'm serious.

Oh, then by all means.
Let's, uh...

Let's embrace Nia's issue.

Book, how can I convince you

to come to City Hall
with us to stop them

from building that dump
in our neighborhood?

Look, environmental
discrimination?

Nia, how about actual
discrimination?

All right?
That, I would gladly protest.

But you're talking about a dump.

You don't think this
affects us directly?

They tried building it
in Evanston, but those people protested.

And they're coming here
because they think

we're not gonna fight back.
Oh, we're going to fight back.

Okay, okay. I hear you, Nia.

Right, I hear you.
But I also heard Mom.

And she said no.

Hold on. You've been
asleep all morning. How did you hear her?

Mom's "no's" will penetrate
your sleep.

Well, the only thing more
powerful than Mom's "no,"

is a united front. Okay?
I've already got Tess. We just need you.

Ha! Wait, me, you, and Tess
are the united front?

No way, I'm out.
She's gonna crush us like bugs, Nia.

Okay, think about it
this way. [clears throat]

When was the last time
I actually said I need you?

Okay, well, you know,
there was that one time a couple weeks a--

No, that's when you sa--
That's when you said, "Who needs you?"

Okay, but then there was
that time in the atrium,

where you said--

No, you said, you said,
"Somebody needs you."

I guess you never have.

All right, Nia. I'm in.

Ah, great! I got my team.

-No take-backs.
-Okay.

Aw! Look at my two STEMers,

creatively collaborating, huh?
Oh, hey.

I'm about to go
to the laundry room.

That's kind of STEM, huh?

That's STEM, right?

You know, with the, the fabric,
and then the, uh,

the detergent, and--

You guys are busy?
Cool, cool.

I think it should be a pup tent.

Uh-huh. Yeah, yeah.
Or maybe...

a sail on a scooter,

that works at night.
Yeah? Eh? Look at that.

That'll get you some points.

Yeah. I guess.

Oh.

Oh, I know I don't see
social justice up in here.

Told you walking out
with the signs was too bold.

And I told you guys
that our mother

is a reasonable person.

Who needs to know that
we respect her authority.

Not working, Booker.

Look. Ahem. Mom.

I, I realize that I didn't
actually ask your permission

to go to the protest.

And for that,
I am very sorry.

So...

Mother, may we go to City Hall
for the protest?

Nia...

No.

No. Mom, you can't say no.

People will just walk
all over you

if you don't make them
recognize that you matter.

Please Mom.
You have to let us go.

-Uh, looks like
we're going off-book. -[door opens]

Hey, Aunt Chels. Um,

you loved activism and protests
when you were my age, right?

-Yeah.
-A little help?

Well, everyone knows
I love a good protest.

Yeah, I'm all for it.

You know what, Nia?
I'm for it, too.

In fact, your desire
to give Auntie Rae

some respectable pushback
for what you believe in

has even inspired me.

I'm sorry? Oh!

Oh! Okay.

See, Mom? I've got everybody
in the household on board.

Yeah, except the one person
you need.

Look, Nia, I'm not
against a protest.

It's just that right now,

you need to be okay
with using your voice in safer ways, all right?

Oh. Ha.
And if I wasn't clear,

the one person you need...
is me.

And my answer... is no.

Too bad.
I was really psyched to go to the protest.

Well, guess I'll
go shoot some hoops

while the air's still fresh.

Nope. We're doing this together.

How? Mom just said
we can't go.

And just when I was
starting to feel needed.

Where do I go from here?

Book, I, I still need
both of you.

I also need a new plan.

[whooshing]

You can protest all you want!

Hey, Book, what'd you see?
Did you have a vision?

Yeah. And, and
we can't convince Mom.

But we can convince Aunt Chels.

Where's Mom?

Oh, she took Levi to
Your Best-Dressed Life

-Oh.

Hey, I'm sorry she won't
let you go to that protest. You okay?

-Not really.
-Yeah. It's hard, Nia.

Back in my day,
it was all about acid rain. Yeah.

-I attended every event.
-Acid rain?

-Mm-hmm.
-Is that one of your old rock bands?

No, Tess.

No, acid rain

was, and still is,
an environmental menace.

I mean, you talk about
ozone layer depletion,

you know, and don't
get me started

on corrosive sulfuric
nitrogen oxides.

What are these words
you're saying?

Book, I think
what Aunt Chels is trying to say

is that she'll take us
to the protest.

Ah, thank you, Aunt Chels.
I knew you'd understand.

Um, they're gonna get
the signs and the hats. I love you. Thank you--

I can't do that. No, Nia.

My answer is no, too.

That's what your mother said,
and we're a united front.

Nia, look. There's gotta be
another way, all right?

In my vision,
I saw Aunt Chels taking us.

I have an idea.

You know how the protest
is at City Hall?

-Yeah?
-You know what else is close to City Hall?

Iconic Donuts.

Oh, I smell what you're cookin'.

-So we ask Ms. G for
a ride to the donut shop. -Exactly.

And she'll never know
until it's too late.

And you heard how passionate
she is about activism.

She'll get there
and she'll let us go,

and she won't have to
feel guilty about it.

Wait, you know I got your back,

but what happens if
your mom finds out?

Ah, don't worry about it.

Aunt Chels is cool.
She'll totally cover for us.

-[chuckles]
-All right.

Um, Aunt Chels, you were right.

Mom said no, and that's
the final answer.

I'm glad you understand,
sweetie.

I'm just... I'm really,
really disappointed.

Just so sad.

And I think the only thing
that could get me through this is...

a donut.

[laughs]
Oh, of course, honey.

-Mm.
-Yeah.

So what if you can't go
to that protest, huh?

At least your fun Aunt Chels
can take you on a fun little jaunt

-to the donut shop, huh?
-[laughs] Yeah.

Ooh! They have the best
vegan crullers at Donuts and Stuff.

-Oh, yeah!
-Yeah?

That place!
Remember, Nia,

you were telling me
how much you were dying to go there?

No. No.

Um, I was actually craving
a donut from Iconic Donuts.

Oh, uh, no! Remember, Nia.

You texted me the exact picture
of the cruller you want--

Book!

-Did you say "Iconic"?
-I did.

Okay, well, if that's what's
gonna cheer you kids up,

then that's what
you're gonna get.

-Well, since you're making people happy,

I've never sat
in the front seat of the Scut.

And I would really appreciate
the extra leg room.
