Readings

Some provocative thoughts about militancy, riots, change, politics and their historical antecedents in the US by my friend, Nathan Tankus, writing in the American Prospect.

Excellent conversation between Naomi Klein and Arundhati Roy on how we move from crisis to justice and build a Global Green New Deal.
