Join me for a conversation with Nick Engelfried  on Movement Makers: How Young Activists Upended the Politics of Climate Change

School strikes for the climate. A bold campaign for a Green New Deal. Fossil fuel divestment. Over the last few years, these and other youth-driven climate initiatives have grabbed the public’s attention and irrevocably altered the dialogue about climate change in the United States. But where did this unprecedented wave of activism come from? In Movement Makers, journalist Nick Engelfried reveals the behind-the-scenes story of the youth climate movement, showing how a scattering of small groups led by young people grew into a true mass uprising.
