HOPE, BUT DEMAND JUSTICE

a collection of writings by Pat Hynes

with a foreword by Randy Kehler

When it comes to what is actually going on in the world, I completely trust the author of HOPE, BUT DEMAND JUSTICE, my good friend Pat Hynes. Why do I trust Pat Hynes? First of all, I never have any doubt that she really knows what she is writing about: it’s clear from her sources that she has done the research. A trained environmental engineer and former Boston University professor of environmental health, she knows what constitutes reliable research.

tax resister and draft resister

1980s executive director, National Nuclear Weapons Freeze Campaign

Pat Hynes inspires each of us to act. Woven throughout HOPE, BUT DEMAND JUSTICE—brilliantly illustrated facts showing the damage we have inflicted on each other and our Earth—is the voice of an activist. She shows by example that actions to reverse inequality, to curtail climate change, to end war—can imbue us with hope, hope that leads us to even greater commitment to create a just society.
