Andrew Ahern is an ecological organizer, freelance writer, and public educator based in Boston. A member of organizations such as The Democratic Socialists of America, the Sunrise Movement, among others, Andrew developed a passion for environmentalism after witnessing other young people challenging power during the wave of climate strikes and protests in 2018 and 2019. As someone committed to bringing about social-ecological transformation, Andrew believes degrowth provides the policies, tools, and values to help us end extractive capitalism and bring about a society based on planetary and human well-being.
