We cannot save the planet without uplifting the voices of its people - especially those most often unheard.

Leah Thomas coined the term 'intersectional environmentalism' to describe the inextricable link between climate change, activism, racism and privilege. The fight for the planet should go hand in hand with the fight for civil rights. In fact, one cannot exist without the other.

This book is a call to action, a guide to instigating change for all and a pledge to work toward the empowerment of all people and the betterment of the planet - an indispensable primer for activists looking to create meaningful, inclusive and sustainable change. Driven by Leah's expert voice and complemented by the words of young activists from around the globe, it is essential reading on the issue - and the movement - that will define a generation.

Leah Thomas is an eco-communicator (an environmentalist with a love for writing and creativity), based in California. She's passionate about advocating for and exploring the relationship between social justice and environmentalism. She first wrote about Intersectional Environmentalism in 2019, but gained international following after her post 'Environmentalists for Black Lives Matter' in 2020. She has written for Vogue and Elle, among other places, and has been featured in Harper's Bazaar, W Magazine, Domino, Glamour, Teen Vogue, and on numerous podcasts. She studied environmental science, and worked for the US National Park Service and Patagonia before becoming a full-time activist. This is her first book.
