An Evening With Mikaela Loach
Join climate campaigner and activist Mikaela Loach at Waterstones Argyle Street to celebrate the paperback launch of her vitally important book, It's Not That Radical!
About An Evening With Mikaela Loach
Mikaela has been recognised as one of the most influential women in the British climate movement, and her book is a vital discussion of the ways the climate movement can and must be more inclusive to tackle the threat of climate change.
Mikaela will be discussing her campaigning, the process of turning her experiences as a campaigner into a book, and her hopes and visions for the future, and more.
It's Not That Radical
For too long, representations of climate action in the mainstream media have been white-washed, green-washed and diluted to be made compatible with capitalism.
We are living in an economic system which pursues profit above all else; harmful, oppressive systems that heavily contribute to the climate crisis, and environmental consequences that have been toned down to the masses. Tackling the climate crisis requires us to visit the roots of poverty, capitalist exploitation, police brutality and legal injustice. Climate justice offers the real possibility of huge leaps towards racial equality and collective liberation as it aims to dismantle the very foundations of these issues.
In this book, Mikaela Loach offers a fresh and radical perspective for real climate action that could drastically change the world as we know it for the benefit of us all. Written with candour and hope, It's Not That Radical will galvanise readers to take action, offering an accessible and transformative appraisal of our circumstances to help mobilise a majority for the future of our planet.
