School strikes for the climate. A bold campaign for a Green New Deal. Fossil fuel divestment. Over the last few years, these and other youth-driven climate initiatives have grabbed the public's attention and irrevocably altered the dialogue about climate change in the United States. But where did this unprecedented wave of activism come from?

Movement Makers tells the behind-the-scenes story of how climate campaigns led by young people grew into a true mass uprising, drawing on interviews with over 100 current and former youth leaders. Get ready to hear insights from climate march organizer Jamie Margolin, Indigenous rights advocate Evon Peter, Energy Action Coalition founder Billy Parish, Dakota Access pipeline fighters Joseph White Eyes and Morgan Brings Plenty, and other leaders of organizations including Sunrise Movement, Zero Hour, Divest Ed, Power Shift Network, 350.org, Indigenous Environmental Network, and more.

No previous book has covered the U.S. youth climate movement in such a comprehensive way, showing how two decades of organizing laid the foundation for seismic shifts in our national politics. Prepare to be amazed at the meteoric rise of a movement fighting for young people's future-and be inspired to find your place in it.
