DESCRIPTION: \n\nFor our July meeting we will be reading The Path to a Livable Future: 
 A New Politics to Fight Climate Change, Racism, and the Next Pandemic by  
 Stan Cox (Amazon, City Lights).\nAn urgent call for the political 
 transformation needed to address the common causes of climate change, 
 COVID-19, and racism.\n“ . . . some big titles will address emergencies 
 that have outlived Trump. The Path to a Livable Future by Stan Cox, 
 explores the connections among the many crises of the past year and a 
 half.”—Dorany Pineda, Los Angeles Times\n2020 was a year defined by 
 crisis. For decades, scientists have been sounding the alarm about the 
 urgency of addressing climate change, but it took COVID-19 to demonstrate 
 clearly that the future of human life on Earth is interconnected and at 
 risk. While the virus quickly spread across the globe, extreme weather 
 events compounded the suffering and economic catastrophe. In the U.S., 
 public demonstrations of outrage over the murder of George Floyd expanded 
 to include a growing awareness of the pandemic's disproportionate impact on 
 communities of color. In cities around the world, people took to the 
 streets to protest racial inequity in all of its forms.\nIn The Path to a 
 Livable Future, Stan Cox makes plain the connections between the multiple 
 crises facing us today, and provides an inspired vision for how to resolve 
 them. With a deeply informed, clear to-do list, Cox shows us how we can 
 work together to address the climate emergency, white supremacy, and our 
 vulnerability to future pandemics all at once. Our future depends on 
 it.\n\nStrike Debt Bay Area hosts this non-technical book group discussion
