Power Lines

Power Lines is the essential anthology on the most effective ways to organise a labour movement for environmental justice, featuring insights from leading organisers in the field.

The corporate elite have long pitted climate and labour movements against each other through a "jobs vs. the environment" narrative that maximises profits. However, in recent years, labour unions and climate organisers have been challenging this framework and organising for a real just transition.

Featuring contributions from key organisers in climate justice and labour, Power Lines tackles the most pressing questions facing those who are striving to build a movement for economic and environmental justice. The collection offers practical organising models and strategies, along with inspiration for achieving meaningful change on climate issues.

Power Lines moves beyond merely analysing the class politics of climate change or the strategic imperative of federal climate legislation. It emphasizes the urgency of a robust labour-climate justice movement and demonstrates how to build that movement by highlighting some of the most creative and effective organising occurring on the ground today.
