Hi all! I'm a longtime journalist who has reported on climate change and how it impacts where we live for more than a decade. I've written on this climate migration beat for the The Guardian, the New York Times, Rolling Stone, Orion, The Nation, and more. A few years ago I sold my first book to a Big 5 publisher and have been working on it since. It's a road-trip story, one that takes the reader along with me across an uprooted America. Just recently, I joined the staff at The Progressive magazine as managing editor.
I've been chomping at the bit to create video content at the confluence of U.S. history and politics, ecology, land use, and climate change—through a radical/critical/left/socialist lens. I've gone so far as to write scripts and shoot footage, but then stall out. My ears perked up when Franchesca mentioned something like this awhile ago, so I'm thrilled to join in now with this distinguished group of creative people.
