Byron Writers Festival: Rise & Resist How to Change the World with Clare Press

Byron Writers Festival and Dumbo Feather invite you to a free talk with writer and sustainability expert Clare Press about her recent book Rise & Resist.

Rise & Resist takes a wild trip through the new activism sweeping the world. The political march is back in a big way, as communities rally to build movements for environmental and social justice. But today’s context calls for increasingly creative strategies to make our voices heard.

Crossing the globe, Clare Press meets passionate change makers who believe in the power of the positive. From eco-warriors and zero-wasters to knitting nannas, introvert craftivists to intersectional feminists, they’re all up for a revolution of sorts. Are you?

Join Press as she discusses the formation of a new counterculture, united by a grand purpose: to rethink how we live today to build a more sustainable tomorrow.
