As we approach the new year, humanity and the planet face a pivotal moment.
Rising far-right authoritarian movements are threatening liberal democracy around the world. Planet-warming emissions continue to rise even as clean energy technologies have become cheaper than fossil fuels. Inflation—driven by the pandemic, war in Ukraine, and corporate greed—continues to hit families hard even as actions by central banks threaten a global economic recession.
Like we saw in the 1920s, there is still time to avert catastrophe and create transformative change for a better world . . . if enough well-informed, well-intentioned people demand it.
