Against the Climate of Violence: Our Risky Mission between Police and Activism for a Future Worth Living.
Hannah and Chira
Why we can't stop climate change with this police force, and what needs to change
All cops are bastards": police officer Chiara responds to climate activist Hannah's post, unaware of the consequences. What could have been just another digital exchange becomes the beginning of a friendship and a shared commitment.
While Hannah faces the suspicion of activists, Chiara, a police officer, is confronted with it head-on: her superior opens disciplinary proceedings, and a struggle begins over the boundaries between freedom of expression and the duty of neutrality.
Establishing a dialogue between the authorities and civil society
In the face of so many unresolved crises, Chiara and Hannah's book, Against the Climate of Violence, calls for a profound reform of the police - before it is too late. The authors take us inside the everyday life of the police on the borders and into the struggles for climate justice, and together they analyse what is driving the ills of our time: a powerful look behind the scenes and a plea for a rethink of society.
This thought-provoking book about the unlikely friendship between a climate activist and a police officer is a must-read.
