About Naomi's talk
In her best-selling book This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs the Climate, Naomi Klein documented the fundamental clash between our current economic model and the imperatives of the climate crisis. At the gala, she will share with our supporters the story of the Leap Manifesto, which charts a pathway for how a science-based response to climate change can battle inequality and build a fairer, more inclusive society.
