Here's your host, Karina Belizey.

Today, I'm sharing with you a book review for a title that will be available next Tuesday, April 28,

2026. This also serves as a prelude to my interview episode with the authors, Annie Leonard and

Andre Clorothers. There are two incredible lifelong activists who have each made incredible,

lasting impacts throughout their work. The book they authored, protest, respect it,

defend it, use it, is more than a book.

It is a historical account of protests.

It is so of the minute that it includes no king's protest that came this spring.

So take a walk with me through this work and consider whether picking up a copy is something you feel

compelled to do. First, let me tell you about the authors. Annie Leonard is a lifelong activist

whose work has taken her to protests, courtrooms, and congressional hearings around the world.

As executive director of Greenpeace, U.S., from 2014 to

2023, she led one of the most recognized environmental organizations on the planet.

She is the creator of The Story of Stuff, one of the most widely viewed environmental films in

history. And she co-launched the Jane Fonda Climate Pack.

She has testified before Congress, appeared across major media, and been recognized by Time

magazine as a hero of the environment. She received an honorary degree from Vermont Law School

and has spent decades campaigning

against pollution, waste, and unchecked corporate power.
