This is exactly right! Change happens when people are connected and involved. My chapter of Citizens' Climate Lobby in Chicago just hosted a screening of the great documentary, Join or Die, about Bob Putnam's research on group affiliation and democracy. You can watch it on Netflix too, but the take away is this - join a club and save democracy!

I really wish I could find more current writings of the "De-Growth" concept brought up in the Felon's previous admin. Or maybe the term has morphed. We need the "how to" here as well.

If our consumerism is killing the environment, social movements teaching how to live well with much less means changes too. So your article is apropos.

Such an interesting take - climate activists don’t have to reinvent the wheel! I’d love to dive deeper into concrete historical examples of successful tactics. Do you have any resources?
