Organizing Cools The Planet: Climate Crisis Tools

Organizing Cools the Planet challenges everyone concerned about the ecological crisis to find their frontline. Blending stories, analysis, organizing tools, and bold questions, it offers a snapshot of the North American climate justice movement and invites readers to take part. The authors reflect on strategy and share hard-won lessons as organizers who don’t come from frontline communities, yet work to build a movement big enough for all—one led by low-income people, communities of color, Indigenous peoples, youth, and others most impacted by the crisis.

Drawing from their work in local, national, and international arenas, they confront the scale of ecological collapse without falling into disempowering doomsday narratives. This booklet is a call to action and a guide for building a resilient movement capable of navigating one of the fastest and most transformative periods in human history.
