The essential anthology on the most effective ways to organize a
labor movement for environmental justice, from leading organizers in
the field
The corporate elite
have long pitted climate and labor movements against each other
through a “jobs vs. the environment” narrative that maximizes
profits. But over the last few years, labor unions and climate
organizers have been pushing back against this framework and
organizing for a real just transition.
Featuring
contributions from key organizers in climate justice and labor, Power
Lines tackles the most pressing questions facing those who are
trying to build a movement for economic and environmental justice.
The collection provides practical organizing models and strategies as
well as inspiration for the possibility of making change on climate.
Power Lines
moves beyond an analysis of the class politics of climate change or
the strategic imperative of federal climate legislation, making the
case for the urgency of a robust labor–climate justice movement. It
also shows us how we can build that movement by sharing some of the
most creative and effective organizing happening on the ground right
now.
