Denali Nalamalapu, a climate organizer in their own right, introduces readers to the ordinary people who became resisters of the Mountain Valley Pipeline, a project that spans approximately 300 miles from northwestern West Virginia to southern Virginia--a teacher, a single mother, a nurse, an organizer, a photographer, and a seed keeper. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In West Virginia, Becky Crabtree, grandmother of five, chains herself to her 1970s Ford Pinto to stop construction from destroying her farm. Farther south, in Virginia, young organizer Michael James-Deramo organizes mutual aid to support community members showing up to protest the pipeline expansion. These (and more) are the stories of everyday resistance that show what difference we can make when we stand up for what we love, and stand together in community. When the world tells these resisters to sit down and back off, they refuse to give up. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e More than anything, \u003ci\u003eHoller\u003c\/i\u003e is an invitation to readers everywhere searching for their own path to activism: sending the message that no matter how small your action is, it's impactful. The story of the Mountain Valley Pipeline is one we can all relate to, as each and every one of our communities faces the increasing threats of the climate crisis, and the corporations that benefit from the destruction of our natural resources. \u003ci\u003eHoller\u003c\/i\u003e is a moving and deeply accessible--and beautifully visual--story about change, hope, and humanity.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDenali Sai Nalamalapu is a climate organizer from Southern Maine and Southern India.
