As a writer and book lover, I’m constantly trying to keep up with the latest releases in fiction, poetry, and nonfiction. But sometimes, nothing is better than returning to a classic book, a story that continues to endure like A Wrinkle in Time.

This week at the Climate Justice desk, we are looking to the greats for inspiration, ways to keep fighting—and the strength to want to. First, the granddaughter of beloved and visionary writer Madeleine L’Engle, author of one of the most banned books of the last 60 years, argues that books can and should be “dangerous.” Next, New York City has become an example of city-level health and climate progress. Can other cities replicate that success worldwide? Then, we get insights from NPQ’s conversation with Corryn Freeman, the executive director of Future Coalition, on how to help youth access the mentorship and resources they need to bring about change. 

Finally, discounted early bird registration ends today, May 23, for our premium webinar: “Ask the Nonprofit Lawyer.” Understanding your legal rights and risks is foundational to nonprofit survival at this time of heightened scrutiny and threats. But legal support can be expensive to find and retain. That’s why NPQ is bringing you one of the country’s most experienced nonprofit attorneys, Jeffrey Tenenbaum of Tenenbaum Law Group, to answer your questions on timely legal and compliance questions facing staff, leaders, and boards.
