Dear John,

Next week, I'm bringing my new book, The New Global Possible: Rebuilding Optimism in the Age of Climate Crisis, to our community here in DC. 

On Wednesday, September 10th at Politics & Prose Bookstore at The Wharf, I will be joined by TIME senior correspondent Justin Worland. Our conversation will invite your hardest and most pressing questions—like, “Why in the world are you still optimistic at a moment like this?” 

In my line of work, it can be easy to become stuck on failures, overshadowing some of our most important successes. I hope you will join me as we explore the evidence for hope and how to mobilize action—alongside good books, good wine, and even better company! You can RSVP here. All proceeds from the book will directly benefit WRI.

Hope to see you there.

Best,
Ani
