What to Do with Climate Emotions
Tim Wehage grew up in South Florida. At home, the TV was often tuned to Fox News, where he heard a lot of rants about liberal hypocrisy, but he didn’t consider himself political. After high school, he began working for his family’s construction business. He had no intention of going to college until he realized that he didn’t want to spend his adulthood doing manual labor in the tropical heat. In college, as a mechanical-engineering major, he learned about renewable
Nan Goldin’s Life Between Art and Activism
I had turned off my phone’s ringer before a screening of Laura Poitras’s new film, All the Beauty and the Bloodshed, but about halfway through I felt it silently buzz: a notification. I pulled the phone out of my pocket and saw that what had arrived was a “breaking news” alert from The New York Times: “Walmart, the largest U.S. retailer, agreed to pay $3.1 billion to resolve thousands
Interview: Jane Fonda teilt ihre „Activism Face“-Make-up-Routine
Wir haben mit dem Wort eine semantische Sättigung erreicht ikonisch. Es wird so häufig und so ungenau verwendet, dass es praktisch jede Bedeutung verloren hat. Ikonisch ist nicht gleichbedeutend mit Großartig. Die Tasse Kaffee, die Sie heute Morgen getrunken haben, war keine Ikone.

I no longer have the book (I parted from it along with the old boyfriend to whom it actually belonged), but I can still vividly recall most of the photographs in its pages. The pictures, which portrayed the life of Goldin, her friends,
America’s Largest, Most Neglected Machine Could Be the Key to Radical Climate Activism
The Price of Unpaid Activism
‘Let the Record Show’ Is an Essential Book on AIDS Activism
For an outstanding chronicle of the early years of AIDS activism, look no further than Sarah Schulman’s Let the Record Show: A Political History of ACT UP New York, 1987–1993, which is also an exemplary model for telling a more complete story of a political movement. In writing Let the Record Show, published earlier this year, Schulman has orchestrated a people’s history of ACT UP New York. Her voice and those of a chorus of activists cohere in
Can We Find a New Way to Tell the Story of Climate Change?
Early one morning in January, 2017, a group of environmental activists in their twenties piled into a rental van and drove from Midtown Manhattan to Albany. For weeks, they’d been planning a sit-in at the state capitol, to demand the passage of significant climate legislation. Inside, everything goes smoothly: the protesters walk past an unsuspecting security guard and, as practiced, link hands and sit down. Daniel Sherrell, one of the action’s organizers, describes the uncanny feeling of making himself heard
