FROM THE HOLLER TO THE SEA – Hurricane Helene Survivors Speak Out
From the holler to the sea—a revolutionary battle cry coined by T & chels from Rednecks Rising—speaks to a sense of widespread solidarity amidst ongoing global polycrisis. From Palestine to the mountains of Western North Carolina, we recognize our struggles are interconnected as we face the present challenges of climate catastrophe, resource exploitation, imperialism & genocide. In the following 18 chapters of poetry, prose, artwork & photography, survivors of Hurricane Helene recount their experiences and create a blueprint of survival for those who will be affected by catastrophe in the weeks, months, and years to come. Their words and images are as harrowing as they are inspiring—when everything we know washes away, we still have strength in community and the hope of building a brighter future. We still have our profound connection to the land and our shared desire to restore balance & harmony to our Earthly home.
