It’s Not That Radical offers a fresh, radical perspective for real climate action that fearlessly addresses the issues at the root of the climate crisis. We are living in an economic order that prioritizes profit above all else, a harmful, oppressive system that heavily contributes to the climate crisis while downplaying the consequences. As climate justice organizer Mikaela Loach argues, tackling this requires us to understand and confront the roots of poverty, capitalist exploitation, and racial inequality.
Naomi Klein says, “Practical and urgent—this is a clarion call for transformation from the front lines of the fight for people and planet. I have no doubt It’s Not That Radical will become an indispensable toolkit for a new generation of activists.”
Mikaela Loach is an acclaimed author, climate justice organizer, and speaker, recognized as one of the most influential women in the UK climate movement by Forbes, Global Citizen, and BBC Woman’s Hour. Loach organizes with grassroots climate movements such as Stop Cambo, Fossil Free Books, Resist Glencore and The UK Black Eco Feminist Collective. She is the co-director of the AWETHU School of Organising and co-hosts the YIKES podcast.
