Short yet important book about the climate crisis and how it intersects and is impacting by all other aspects of life including late stage capitalism, asylum seekers, people of different socioeconomic backgrounds and all sorts of other things.

This felt a little like an ad about Xiuhtezcatl's music career with a small focus on what the music was about which was the fact that marginalised people are those who suffer to the climate crisis the most. So far this is the most disappointing of the series.

Not much to say about such a short book, but with the length it had, it made some very sobering and powerful statements about climate justice and our place in its movement. However, because of the length, I felt Martinez talked too much about their music and not enough about what the average person can do to help.
I love the idea of expanding the idea of types of activism and how art can be activism. I wish I had more examples besides writing music to do this.

Lack of focus on structures makes it seem like the author is saying it’s about how much we care. Like if teenagers just cared more the climate catastrophe would be addressed but doesn’t touch on how this energy gets diverted/stamped out.
Also uncritically promotes the Green New Deal without addressing how it isn’t enough/is a liberal and capitalistic plan that isn’t liberatory.
For something aimed at teens, the text remains too liberal and doesn’t encourage a more radical approach that is necessary.

i found this book in the Native American Heritage Reads display of my library and decided to pick it up.
it's a quick read and gave me a lot to think about. we take Earth for granted, and the climate crisis is much more than ice melting. the impact it leaves on minorities and Indigenous communities is usually forgotten.
an informative and pretty cool book overall!

Everyone needs to read this book. It's short but packed with information. It made me see things in a completely new light.

Dissects the connection between race and climate change. Exploitation of people and resources has been the foundation for the current western world.

All for interrogating a single approach to activism. Martinez grew up as a youth climate activism that used art, and still does, to shape his movement spaces, arguing for more relational activism where we see each approach as interconnected with another.
