A Planet to Win comes at the perfect moment, challenging us to find hope and build a more just world in the face of catas-trophe. The authors outline transformative solutions to the climate crisis that are economically viable and politically possible--if we organize and fight to win. --Varshini Prakash, Executive Director, Sunrise Movement The climate crisis presents an enormous, existential challenge to our species. But we don't have time to be overwhelmed. The enormity of the task requires even bigger ideas, strategies, and tactics. In this book, some of our sharpest, most lucid voices on cli-mate make a critical intervention in the burgeoning movement to save our planet. Read their book and join the struggle. --Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, author of From #BlackLivesMatter to Black Liberation Urgent, clear-eyed, and energizing, this book is a powerful example of the radical collaborative thinking we desperately need to avoid climate dystopia and win a world where the many can survive and thrive. --Astra Taylor, Director of What Is Democracy? Climate change is now deadly serious; that's why this deadly serious book is so welcome and so crucial right now. No more nib-bling around the edges--it's time to actually seize this moment. --Bill McKibben, author of Falter, cofounder of 350.org An excellent orientation to the ecological crisis we face and the Green New Deal that is the necessary start of our response. This book puts its finger right on the pulse of our moment. --Kim Stanley Robinson, author of New York 2140
