How can we be still within ourselves in the face of climate catastrophe and yet active in the world at the same time? Mindful activists, including climate activists, always wrestle with some version of this question. Alycee Lane found her answer amid a deeply personal loss -- the death of her parents -- which inspired her to write The Wretched of Mother Earth: The Handbook for Living, Dying and Nonviolent Revolution in the Midst of Climate Change Catastrophe. The book weaves real data about the climate crisis with a fictional story of the future. In so doing, it challenges us to both sit with and face the prospect of climate-driven human extinction and stop – through radical nonviolence – the forces driving us to that unimaginable end.

The Wretched of Mother Earth is an ebook available on numerous platforms, including this one.
