'Guides us beyond the greenwashing of the arsonist state, towards
the regenerative agency of local communities. Gelderloos
demonstrates how we have the means at hand to extinguish the blaze
and reset our wayward course towards a more livable and just planet
for all'
*Simon Springer, author of 'The Anarchist Roots of Geography'*
'Few books are as honest, inclusive and based on so much experience
of committed social and ecological struggle. The Solutions Are
Already Here opens doorways to a world so many young activists want
to know and understand, and reminds so many more that now is the
time to act'
