Wild Hope Launch

From the campaign to make Melbourne's Yarra River swimmable again, to community-owned renewable energy in Bristol, England, and children speaking Gumbaynggirr in a Coffs Harbour school hall as though the language had never been lost, Claire discovers what becomes possible when people stop waiting for perfect solutions and start taking action. Interwoven with her own personal story, Wild Hope reveals that the future is not broken; a better one is already being built.
