| Summary: | This chapter begins with “Building a Bigger Choir,” a talk that Lenny Kohm often gave at Alaska Wilderness Week meetings in Washington, DC. In the talk, Kohm distilled the lessons he learned about activism from years of slide show tours. The chapter also briefly considers his activism in the fight against mountaintop removal coal mining. During the final years of his life, Kohm worked for Appalachian Voices, an environmental group based in Boone, North Carolina, and helped the organization develop a strategy modelled on the Arctic Refuge campaign. In addition, the chapter considers the radicalization of the Republican Party, including the widespread embrace of climate change denialism.
