Courage: the ability to do something that frightens one. In Chapter 1 (âReframing the Narrativeâ) of âClimate Courageâ (Beacon Press), author Andreas Karelas quotes Dr. Kate Marvel, a climate scientist, who says, âWe need courage, not hope, to face climate change.â
We are in an era of major change, which can be scary. However, what is more concerning is losing our quality of life if we do not begin to really confront the climate issue, and soon. Yet, Karelas is excited nowadays and one reason is that clean energy jobs are already the fastest growing sector of the economy.
âClimate Courageâ is a smartly crafted read that is easily accessible, with a hopeful message highlighting the bright spots in this fight. A lot of ground is covered in the book, and it is timely given a new administration strongly focused on tackling the climate crisis and its push for clean energy jobs through its infrastructure bill.

We Don’t Need Prisons to Make Us Safer

To the statement that prisons provide safety, we should ask, “Safety for whom? And from what?”
The United States now has 2.3 million people behind bars of some form or another. These are not 2.3 million isolated individuals their imprisonment sends reverberations into their families and communities. On any given day, 2.7 million children have a parent in prison. Incarcerating that parent removes a source of financial and emotional support for both children and adult family members. For families who are already in economically precarious situations, removing a parent can plunge them into poverty, reduce their safety, and make them more vulnerable to arrest and incarceration.
