All Hands on Deck, Climate Activism the Way Ahead
Saturday October 25th, 2025 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
For more than 30 years, I’ve been on the front lines of direct-action environmentalism and anti-capitalism in the UK. I’ve helped shut down offensive companies for the day and been part of successful protest camps to save Britain’s ancient woodlands. But it’s not enough. Climate breakdown continues unabated; the gap between haves and have-nots is growing.
We welcome legendary activist Jan Goodey to the shop to help celebrate the launch of his essential new book All Hands On Deck: Climate Activism and the way ahead, out now from PM Press. A member of Just Stop Oil, and among those imprisoned for his climate actions, Jan is a seasoned and courageous activist. For more than 30 years, he has been on the front lines of direct-action environmentalism and anti-capitalism in the UK. Jan has helped shut down offensive companies and been part of successful protest camps to save Britain’s ancient woodlands. But, as he argues in his new pamphlet, it’s not enough. Climate breakdown continues unabated; the gap between haves and have-nots is growing.
This is a free event, but advance booking here on Eventbrite helps prepare the evening and ensure sufficient #SamosasForSocialChange!
“All Hands on Deck, Climate Activism the Way Ahead” is published by PM Press and is also available at the event and from Active Distribution.
