A visionary program for national renewal, the Green New Deal aims to protect the earth's climate while creating good jobs, reducing injustice, and eliminating poverty. Its core principle is to use the necessity for climate protection as a basis for realizing full employment and social justice.

Jeremy Brecher goes beyond the national headlines and introduces readers to the community, municipal, county, state, tribal, and industry efforts advancing the Green New Deal across the United States. Brecher illustrates how such programs from below do the valuable work of building constituencies and providing proofs of concept for new ideas and initiatives. Block by block, these activities have come together to form a Green New Deal built on a strong foundation of small-scale movements and grassroots energy.

A call for hope and a better tomorrow, The Green New Deal from Below offers a blueprint for reconstructing society on new principles to avoid catastrophic climate change.

Industry Reviews

"Massive social transformation emerges through the ingenuity and vision of ordinary people. Jeremy Brecher captures the beginnings of a sea change within communities, unions, cities, and states that champion climate protection, justice, and job creation through their own Green New Deals. These highly readable, inspiring, and hopeful chapters trace how change truly happens--from the bottom up."--Varshini Prakash, co-founder of the Sunrise Movement
