Catherine Coleman Flowers’ new book, Holy Ground: On Activism, Environmental Justice, and Finding Hope, was published a week into President Donald Trump’s second term.
Grounded in faith, the book weaves together stories about Flowers’ family, climate change and her work on sanitation rights and infrastructure in rural America. In the first essay, “Thirty Pieces of Silver,” she compares the infiltration of money into U.S. politics with Judas Iscariot’s biblical betrayal of Jesus Christ for 30 pieces of silver.
