In the current issue

In the January/February issue we explore courage, activism and the movement for change.

The future doesn't have to be worst-case scenario, and if we work together it can be something to celebrate. In our Keynotes feature, Kate Pickett and Richard Wilkinson lay out ways we can do this by addressing the inequality that is currently crippling society.

As well as the growing non-violent movement Extinction Rebellion - the actions of peaceful activists across the world featured in this issue show that feelings of dread and disempowerment can be transformed into optimism and hope. Nonviolent protest is not the only way to protest of course. In the Ecologist section Natalie Bennett writes: "Everyone has a role, from promoting actions on social media and answering questions from family and colleagues ... to baking quiches and cakes for the protesters..."

In our Arts section, Alice Kettle writes about a project bringing together refugees, asylum seekers and concerned people across the world to create incredible textile landscapes and stitched 'forests' to form a "unique kind of activism".

The end of 2018 may be remembered as the moment the realities of climate breakdown hit the mainstream. There's still a chance 2019 will be known as the year we began to change things for the better.

We hope you find much to enjoy in this issue of Resurgence & Ecologist and can take time to explore many of our featured articles.
