The Protest Book

Annie Leonard & Andre Carothers are writing a book that is a tribute to peaceful protest, and a call to defend this crucial democratic right. Coming from Patagonia books in April 2026.
Ukrainian skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych was stripped of his Olympic accreditation for wearing a helmet of memory. Our book exists for moments exactly like this, when people feel the weight of injustice but are told there’s “no place” for it.

Meet Annie Leonard: the mind behind The Story of Stuff and a relentless force challenging our consumption-driven economy for decades. From factories to landfills to policy tables, she’s been doing the work—including the release of our book. Stay tuned!

The streets sparked it, and the Grammy’s amplified it.

Our forthcoming book--Protest! Respect It, Defend It, Use It--is a what celebration of what collective action can achieve.

Stay tuned for more. Just Protest.

40 yrs ago today, French Secret Service agents bombed Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior in Auckland, killing beloved photographer Fernando Pereira. The ship and crew were preparing to protest French nuclear testing in the Pacific. It wasn't OK to attack peaceful protesters then and it isn't OK now.

I just saw this van, belonging to a professional reupholstery
company, whose logo is on the side of the van. Y’all, the reupholsters are with us! We have students, nurses, teachers, park rangers,
scientists, retirees, rock and rollers and now upholsterers!
