BOOKS BY THE AUTHOR
Frontline Voices on Pandemics, Uprisings, & Climate Crisis
New World Coming documents this distinct moment in history through personal narratives and intergenerational imaginings of a just, healthy, and equitable future. Writers reflect on what movements for justice and liberation can learn from the response to COVID-19, uprisings for Black lives, and climate crisis, inspiring the change we need to survive and thrive. These powerful narratives cultivate and strengthen our imaginations for a regenerative future.
"Set against the backdrop that is the anguish of bearing witness, New World Coming is showing us how to recognize each other again."
—KAILEA FREDERICK, climate justice organizer, NDN Collective
