Activism for Life

For over four decades Angie has campaigned for a greener, fairer and safer world. This remarkable account of her campaigning life shares some of the lessons she has learnt from her actions in many different countries. Heartfelt but clear, it includes personal insights into mobilising for effective, sustainable actions, dealing with security, police and courts and how seemingly different issues are actually closely intertwined. This unique book covers nuclear weapons, militarism, climate change, corporate abuses of power, environmental destruction and much more.
