Hi Jake,
The past two months have demonstrated how important -- and how difficult -- large scale, collective action is to solving our most pressing problems. Few problems are as urgent as climate change, and the response to the Covid-19 pandemic is in many ways a preview of the kind of action that will be required to avoid the worst effects of climate catastrophe.
Today we're excited to offer our readers a chance to get a copy of A Planet to Win, a new book that explores the political potential and concrete first steps of how a Green New Deal can tackle the climate emergency and rampant inequality at the same time.
For a limited time, anyone who donates $20 or more to support In These Times will receive a copy of A Planet to Win: Why We Need a Green New Deal.
"A Planet to Win comes at the perfect moment, challenging us to find hope and build a more just world in the face of catastrophe. 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 MovementWritten in collaboration by four In These Times contributors -- Kate Aronoff, Alyssa Battistoni, Daniel Aldana Cohen and Thea Riofrancos -- A Planet to Win calls for dismantling the fossil fuel industry, building beautiful landscapes of renewable energy, and guaranteeing climate-friendly work, no-carbon housing, and free public transit.
We don't make politics under conditions of our own choosing, and no one would choose this crisis. But crises also present opportunities. We stand on the brink of disaster -- but also at the cusp of wondrous, transformative change.
Thanks to our arrangement with the publisher, Verso Books, 100% of your donation will go towards keeping In These Times publishing during this critical moment.
