As floods and fires rage across the planet, more people are embracing nonviolent action to achieve political change. Can it work? In ‘Sorry for the Inconvenience But This Is an Emergency’ doctor and aid worker Lynne Jones offers a compelling, ground-level account of the last five years of UK protests, exploring how and why ordinary citizens have adopted extraordinary methods to confront the climate and nature crises. In this episode, listen to Lynne in conversation with Fiona Godlee, doctor, and former Editor-in-Chief of the British Medical Journal, about Lynne’s experiences, from Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp to her involvement in movements like Extinction Rebellion today. They will also discuss the most effective kinds of protest, and what compels people to break the law in the name of justice. For more, visit hurstpublishers.com
