Those working for systems change know that we need to empower young people. That group has an outsized interest in an equitable future, but typically has less influence than do older and (especially) more affluent people. I think that accounts in part for two books released this year.
So far, I’ve given four copies of Naomi Klein’s How To Change Everything to my nieces and friends’ kids. I learned about it on Democracy Now!
Klein used her appearance to indict Ted Cruz’s Cancun escapade, calling it a metaphor for how the rich, powerful, and privileged think that they’ll escape climate change’s worst effects.
Power to the People!, just released, encourages young people to fight for citizen and consumer rights. I learned about it on the Ralph Nader Radio Hour, which is an improbably reliable source of cultural zeitgeist.
