ALP is dedicated to creating African libraries by organizing the shipment of gently-used books through book drives in the United States. While the book sounds the alarm on the urgency of the climate situation and how it had summited crisis levels, Jane rejects apathy and fatalism , instead emphasizing the things we can do and the opportunities for change and labor justice inherent in the new framework of the Green New Deal.

You may disagree with AC politics but it is much harder to disagree with his analysis of our politics and the critical sate it is in now.This is a book for supporters of democracy,” he states, and in many ways it is everything a manifesto should be: heartfelt, hectoring, impassioned, rousing. I found the 'Why politics has gone so wrong' part of the book to contain very little in the way of new criticisms of our political landscape.

Overall an inspiring and instructive book on how to be more engaged with politics and enacting change, if a little preachy and overly-optimistic at times.

Wary of “dadsplaining”, he speaks to millennials for their perspective, and is admiring of Greta Thunberg, a lone young voice who spoke up against the global establishment. The breakdown by chapter of important (and sometimes overlooked) facets of this crisis is very helpful in putting together the entire picture of our global peril. But this woman really cares, and she’s taken the time to learn as much as she can, to lead the weekly climate change demonstrations of the civil disobedience group Fire Drill Fridays.Somehow, I still do allow the pessimism to triumph over my optimism and say, “it really is not that easy. The book contains sections on how different patches of our lives are about to be affected and interrupted by climate change- such as ocean resources, water resources, forests, our health, labor rights, and human rights and migration.
