About the book
There is a renaissance blooming in the climate movement: leadership that is more characteristically feminine and more faithfully feminist, rooted in compassion, connection, creativity, and collaboration. While it’s clear that women and girls are vital voices and agents of change for this planet, they are too often missing from the proverbial “table.” More than a problem of bias, it’s a dynamic that sets us up for failure. To change everything, we need everyone.
Intermixing essays with poetry and art, this book is both a balm and a guide for knowing and holding what has been done to the world, while bolstering our resolve never to give up on each other or our collective future. We must summon truth, courage, and solutions, to turn away from the brink and toward life-giving possibility. Curated by two climate leaders, this book is a collection and celebration of visionaries who are leading us on a path toward all we can save.

All We Can Save includes work by more than 40 women at the forefront of the climate movement who are leading humanity forward.
The climate crisis is a leadership crisis. So, to carry forward the work of the book, we have launched a nonprofit: The All We Can Save Project.
To rapidly, radically reshape society this decade — the task science has set clearly before us — status quo leadership will not suffice. We need an upwelling of transformational climate leadership that is more characteristically feminine and more faithfully feminist, rooted in compassion, connection, creativity, and collaboration.
The All We Can Save Project will accelerate the success of the climate movement by providing focused support and community building for women climate leaders.
