An Intimate Conversation About the U.S. Election, the State of Democracy, and The Most Radical Thing You Can Do.
Join Orion Magazine and Point Reyes Books for a post-Election Day exchange between two of the world’s most prominent voices for justice and the environment, Rebecca Solnit and Terry Tempest Williams. Solnit is currently an advisor to Orion, while Williams is a contributing editor.
