Review Quotes: "Organize or Burn is a pathbreaking and riveting ethnographic account of grassroots climate politics. In New York City, as Fabian Holt shows, DSA organizers built a 'movement party' from the ground up, confronted entrenched elites, and won historic Green New Deal legislation. A must-read for anyone interested in how democratic organizations can build popular power, take on the powerful interests that profit from the climate crisis, and win a sustainable future for all."-- "Thea Riofrancos, author of Extraction: The Frontiers of Green Capitalism"
