Reviews"The climate challenge is also a challenge of human communication, connection, and empathy. This book shines a light on these intertwined dynamics and contains a wealth of new strategies to help reach people in ways that are both authentic and resonant." --John Kerry, 68th Secretary of State and co-executive chair, Galvanize Climate Solutions "Whether you're building a movement or just exploring ways to get involved in a cause, Amplify can help. We need fresh thinking to accelerate social change, particularly around climate, and the ideas in this book are creative and easy to implement." --Van Jones, author of Beyond the Messy Truth "If you're feeling overwhelmed by the horror of the headlines and wondering what you can do to help, this book is made for you. Chock-full of practical and creative tools, Adam Met's timely, timeless treatise defies cynicism, demystifies change-making, and makes you feel like you can actually make a difference. Amplify is essential reading for artists and activists alike." --Shaina Taub, Tony Award-winning songwriter and performer "As artists, and as citizens, it is vital that we find not just the strength but the strategies to keep fighting for social progress. This book will help you find both." --Leslie Odom Jr., Grammy and Tony Award-winning singer and actor " Amplify uncovers, explains, and celebrates the connections between music and social movements. It reminds us that we can and should use the skills and passion we learn from working in the arts to help make a positive difference in our communities. Not only is it a practical guide to getting engaged and bringing others along for the ride, but it challenges us to build movements for transformational change." --Maxwell Frost, the first Gen Z member of Congress (from the foreword)
