Includes bibliographical references and index.
The Pussyhat Project -- On craftivism -- Make the change you wish to see -- Fashion Revolution -- Three ways to be an activist -- We stand with you -- Green Piece -- The rise of the climate movement -- Fight Club -- Youthquake -- SOS : Save Our Seas -- The anti-plastics movement -- Zero waste -- Let's build a tiny house! -- Rejecting money -- Consumerism gone mad -- Meet the minimalists -- What's the alternative? -- On mindfulness.
Rise & Resist takes a wild trip through the new activism sweeping the world. The political march is back in a big way, as communities rally to build movements for environmental and social justice. But today's context calls for increasingly creative strategies to make our voices heard. Crossing the globe, Clare Press meets passionate change-makers who believe in the power of the positive. From eco warriors and zero wasters to knitting nannas, introvert craftivists to intersectional feminists, they're all up for a revolution of sorts. Are you? Join Press as she tracks the formation of a new counterculture, united by a grand purpose: to rethink how we live today to build a more sustainable tomorrow.--
