Last year, the UU Ministry for the Earth (UUMFE) team led a community read for the book, “What If We Get It Right?” by Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson. This year, beginning Monday, September 28,  UUMFE will explore with our Unitarian Universalist community, the book, “Radically Reframing Climate Change: A Guide to Saving Ourselves” by Will Hackman. 

The UU Ministry for Earth Community Read 2026-27 kicked off on Monday, September 28 at 7:45-9:00 PM and there is still time to join! 

The book’s author, Will Hackman, argues that the problem isn’t scientific or fact-based, but rather political, emotional, and ideological. He identifies three leading barriers to solving climate change: polarization, paralysis, and inadequate messaging. Framing the climate crisis as a humanity crisis, Hackman encourages readers to convert their anxiety and anger into action.

Interactive discussions are conducted on the fourth Monday of every month over Zoom. Beginning at 7:45 PM, the first 15 minutes of every gathering will be Community Time where folks will gather to sing songs of climate resilience/resistance before transitioning to the Community Read discussion.

The book is available in hard cover via www.bookshop.org which is an online bookstore which supports designated local, independent bookstores, such as Common Ground Bookstore in Tallahassee and also at other bookstores. Please support your independent local bookstores!
