The most poignant and memorable part of this memoir is: "As people become more disillusioned with the world, they're going to turn to people with a vision for a better future who are able to find joy despite seeing the world for what it is. This is where what comes next will be grown." With the way things are right now, this quote is more important for folks to remember than anything else.
Though it's quick, this is an inspiring read. I recommend it for youngin's (probably late elementary and middle school-aged, perhaps even high schoolers) to help them understand climate activism and how even the little man can do things to help inspire change. Even if you aren't a kiddo, read this yourself as a reminder that no matter what happens, resistance matters.
The art style is comfortable and the use of colors to distinguish between the different vignettes was a wonderful choice. Transcribing oral histories into a graphic memoir is such a unique take and honestly, fulfills the author's goal of making information and knowledge more accessible and digestible to the masses.
Though the fight wasn't won against the MV pipeline, this memoir is a reminder of the most important aspect of resistance: connect with others, tell your story, and keep fighting.

I enjoyed this look at the different backgrounds and methods of several protestors of the Mountain Valley Pipeline. Through their stories, you are shown a number of ways small acts of resistance can make a difference against seemingly insurmountable odds. Even if the end result is not what you desire, you don’t give up hope. You transfer it and find new ways to act, rebel and persist.
