Tldr: the author reviews Jeremy Brecher’s Green New Deal From Below, which calls for environmentalist activists to “outflank” Trump’s anti-environment federal policies by engaging in “hundreds of arenas at state, local, and civil society levels.” The author compares this approach with green syndicalism and discusses many examples of local collective action, ultimately concluding Brecher’s approach relies too much on lobbying politicians and working within the system but can help build the grassroots efforts, alliances, and working class social power necessary for a true green revolution.

I know it’s a long article but I thought it (the review and the book itself) are/will be worth reading.
