!BIG NEWS!
We've agreed match funding of £250 once campaign for book on eco / climate crisis, collapse & revolutionary change reaches £1500, so it will go to £1750 instantly!

Fundraising campaign link below gives details on authors, including Just Collapse, Gail Bradbrook, A Radical Guide, Brian Tokar and Chaia Heller of the Institute for Social Ecology, anti-colonial environmental consultant Violet Matiru, and more.

📢 NOW JUST £20 AWAY FROM TODAY'S TARGET!!!
We are SO thrilled and humbled that our fundraiser for an upcoming book on ecological crisis, collapse, and revolutionary change, is doing so well! With confirmed contributors Gail Bradbrook, co-founder of XR, and Brian Tokar, veteran scholar activist, maybe it's not surprising. But we still have work to do! CAN you help us reach our target of £1300 by the end of the day? We are just £20 away! Help us use well-known eco activist voices to platform lesser known ones: in this multi-author book there will feature many underrepresented communities, including from Kenya, Brazil and Nigeria. Help us get there! Meanwhile, here's a chipmunk. The fundraiser link: https://crowdbound.org/product/ecological-crisis-collapse-revolution-diverse-global-perspectives/

We are absolutely thrilled to report that we are running one of our most successful crowdfunding campaigns ever, for our upcoming multi-author book on ecological crisis, collapse and revolutionary change. This book will platform diverse underrepresented voices from around the world, as well as some well-known, much-respected authors, such as climate justice scholar-activist Brian Tokar, and Extinction Rebellion co-founder Gail Bradbrook.

Today's fundraising target is £1300 (on the 9th August 2024). We managed to achieve £1200 on the 8th, but we simply must keep this momentum going to ensure that we raise the publication costs for the book. Please please support small publishers like Arkbound to produce vital diversely authored publications that insightfully tread complex paths forward toward profound societal change. We understand the cost of living crisis, but we also understand that some readers of this post CAN easily help us to achieve today's target of £1300 by a simple donation of £10 or £20. Just £10 entitles the donor to a free e-copy of the book. At the very least, please share this post...at the very least as a countermeasure to all the trash out there that's published in these times of crisis. Meanwhile, here's a blue jay.

Arkbound is pleased to announce that the upcoming fundraiser beginning 7TH AUGUST for our planned multi-author book on ecological crisis, societal collapse and revolutionary change, has received a HUGE boost from the confirmation that Dr Gail Bradbrook, co-founder of the Extinction Rebellion movement, will be writing the foreword for the book.

Just Collapse, the Australia based activist group, have also confirmed they will be contributing to the book, and Violet Matiru is another confirmed contributor. Ms Matiru is an ecological consultant from Northern Kenya and brave exposer of the corruption of the carbon credits scam and '30 by 30' conservation narrative being used to dispossess indigenous people and traditional farmers in Northern Kenya.

7TH AUGUST is the launch date for this crowdfunding campaign on crowdbound.org and we want as many donations as possible on the first day, to ensure the campaign's success. Please donate, and please like and share and comment on this post. A like at the very least will help promote visibility. Thanks!!
