Can it work? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDoctor and aid worker Lynne Jones offers a compelling, ground-level account of the last five years of protests in the UK, exploring how and why ordinary citizens have resorted to extraordinary methods to confront the global climate and nature crises. Drawing on her experiences opposing nuclear weapons at Greenham Common airbase in the 1980s, and sharing her journey in movements like Extinction Rebellion today, she reflects on both public history and her personal story to answer key questions about nonviolent action in a world on the brink. Can we learn from the protest movements of the past? How do you communicate with those who disagree? What are the most effective forms of disruption in a Western democracy? Is property damage nonviolent? Is the law just? How important are direct interventions, boycotts and non-cooperation? What can we learn from indigenous activists in the Global South? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA lifetime of activism has taught Jones that we all have more power than we realise. It's time to use that power for meaningful, transformative change--before it's too late.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLynne Jones OBE is a child psychiatrist, WHO and UNICEF consultant, and author of acclaimed books including \u003cem\u003eOutside the Asylum\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThen They Started Shooting\u003c\/em\u003e.
