Yep I've been to talks where hope was still a thing. And then I went to hear Rupert Read talk about the Climate Majority Project and it was the only time - other than listening to you Sarah- that I heard someone say it's now past midnight and there's no going back. So the job now is to gently help people deal with the emotional fallout to that realisation. Which is a big part of the CMP's work, especially in schools. And start thinking about how we cope with what is already coming out way: resilience, fairness, and the end of capitalism. No answers in what Ive written but maybe some hope around the fact that there are individuals and groups now starting from the 'we're f******d; what do we do about it's perspective.
TBH I find so e of their language too academic ( it's why I love your writing!) but their work helping people come out of the other side of despair feels important to me and a sea change in approach.
