In a world already plagued by the effects of late-stage capitalism—economic inequality, voter suppression, healthcare inequality, racial injustice, and an escalating climate crisis—how do we continue fighting for meaningful progress in the middle of a pandemic? These essays and op-eds from the Salt Lake Tribune, the Seattle Times, and LA Progressive show us that unity can be divisive, morality can be immoral, and facts can be fabricated. But no one ever said fighting against manipulation and willful ignorance was easy. In this collection, author Johnny Townsend offers encouragement and insight gained from his own experience as a climate crisis refugee and human rights advocate.
