Publisher's Synopsis
This book provides a multilayered approach--twenty steps--on how we might move toward a social climate of justice. Posts written for the Climate of Justice Project blog exemplify how the steps direct us toward meaningful engagement with our social, political, and environmental challenges. The 116 posts were written between 2020 and 2024. Many of the posts are instances of dialogue with over 60 authors who have contributed to public discourse. The first step Focus the Mind on a Climate of Justice lays out the basic premise of the book, with eight posts including Who will Protect us? and A Framework for our Thinking. The second step Take Care of Civic Spaces defines the civic as the space where we can reconcile social differences and repair social damages. The eighteen other steps, from Abolish White Supremacy to Care for Civilians include posts that respond to such events as Black Lives Matter, the coronavirus, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and October 7. While the events keep changing, taking the steps that will move us toward a climate of justice have become even more relevant.
