"Truth and Dare: The world is ending, and the revolution has begun"
"Truth and Dare" is a comic book and a curriculum, a graphic novel and a
gateway to further knowledge and action. With fifty pages of illustrations from nine different world-class artists, and a ten page curriculum and resource list, it is a crash course in world history, political economy, sociology, gender studies, ecology, climate change and the world-wide ecosocialist struggle for humanity and nature in the 21st century.
We imagine this book in all settings
and with all age groups, from elementary schools through
universities; and outside the classroom, in homes, workplaces,
grassroots organizations and beyond. It is produced by Ecosocialist Horizons with help from the World War Three artists collective.
A free copy of "Truth and Dare" will be distributed to everyone who attends the tour events in Vermont. Extra copies will be available for sale.
"This book is unconventional in
that it challenges many mainstream assumptions and attitudes. Not
only does it question the powers that be, but it also challenges many
of those claiming to have solutions for today's profound problems.
James Baldwin said that “artists are here to disturb the peace,”
and we have tried with every aspect of this book – the
illustrations, the words, and this curriculum – to be artistic. We
hope to start conversations, and most of all to help people move into
ever-more educated and organized forms of action."

PRAISE FOR TRUTH AND DARE:
“A
great presentation of our collective dilemmas, one that will provoke
intelligent and productive debate about what we need to do to save
ourselves and our descendants in this moment of the structural crisis
of our modern world-system.” Immanuel Wallerstein, Yale
University
“Should be a prescribed text for all undergraduate students in every discipline, and is an essential toolbox for activists from a variety of backgrounds. Shop stewards, it will open your minds to the imperative of ecosocialism; social justice activists, it will impress upon you the imperative of changing production processes; environmental activists, it will force you to address class inequality and global injustice. There really is no way around it – read it, use it, get organized.” - Janet Cherry, South African activist and historian, former political detainee, and researcher for the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

This teaches more than the many boring pages which I, among others,
have written.” - Hugo Blanco, leader of the Campesino
Confederation of Peru; editor of the journal Lucha Indigena
“Against all the odds, Art dares to tell the Truth: this Comic collection is a fantastic achievement. In its diversity, it puts artistic imagination, surrealist irony, black humor, and spiritual energy at the service of the Ecosocialist struggle - the decisive fight against the Enemy of Nature and Humanity: Kapitalism!” Michael Löwy, co-author of the International Ecosocialist Manifesto
