MElanie Guttmann, co-founder of Letzte Generation (Last Generation), a German climate group, once spent six days in jail after being arrested during a protest. She told me it was one of the worst experiences of her life. “I just wanted to get out of there and have a quiet life, spend some time with the people I love, start a family.” Ultimately, though, it was worth it, and she would have been willing to stay in prison longer if it could make a difference: “I started to realize that whether I was in prison or not, I would never have these things because the climate crisis had destroyed everything I had dreamed of for my future.” (ALEJANDRO DE LA GARZA, TIME )
