Looking for a gift for the teen in your life who’s participating in school strikes, or your wilderness-loving cousin, or, you know, just someone who understands and listens to basic science? All We Can Save is the book you’re looking for. Edited by climate leaders Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson and Dr. Katharine Wilkinson, the book puts a long overdue spotlight on the voices of the women who are shaping the climate movement, many of them by turning increased attention to the root causes of man-made climate change, like patriarchy and colonialism.
The collection features a host of heavy-hitters, including Xiye Bastida, Varshini Prakash, Alexandria Villaseñor, Emily Atkin, and many, many more. Notably, All We Can Save spans genres: Poetry and art sit alongside rousing and informative essays from lawyers, farmers, and educators. The result is a fiery, hopeful manifesto on how to make sense of the staggering loss poised by climate change — and take justice-oriented action in spite of it.
