Hope is Here by Zack Polanski

Hope is Here by Zack Polanski

Hope is in short supply right now, things aren’t working and many of us feel stuck… What’s the answer? It’s all of us.

With curiosity rather than authority, by resisting the pull towards just one strong voice and opening up meaningful debate with many perspectives, Hope is Here offers thoughtful and powerful takes on the urgent issues that worry all of us today.

Building on the immensely popular podcast, Bold Politics with Zack Polanski, Hope is Here offers a space for ideas, discussion and new ways of thinking, as some of the smartest and most engaged thinkers, speakers and writers around take a good hard look at the UK and the world around us – and then do something astonishing: they sow seeds of hope for the future.

Framed throughout by Green Party Leader Zack Polanski and with contributions from Grace Blakeley, Zoe Gardner, Mikaela Loach, George Monbiot, Jordan Stephens, Owen Jones, Dr Amir Khan, Femi Oluwole, Feargal Sharkey, Natasha Devon, Jimmy The Giant, as well as human stories from exploited workers and real-life accounts from people living and working in the camps in Calais, each chapter looks positively at the problems we face and finds new ways to explore possible solutions.

You will find yourself excited, energised and above all hopeful about our future and your place in it.

Hope is Here. It’s time to grasp it. Pre-order it now.

Zack Polanski, born in Salford in 1982, is a British politician and activist. Raised in a Jewish family, he reclaimed his ancestral surname at 18. Before politics, he worked in many fields: theatre, youth work and mental health. His career path reflects an interest in people, culture, and communication, skills he later brought into public life. Polanski joined the Green Party in 2017, attracted by its focus on climate and social justice. In 2021, he was elected to the London Assembly, and in 2022, he became Deputy Leader of the Green Party of England and Wales, winning more than half the vote in a contested election. Polanski's clear message combining environmental justice with social justice won him the 2025 Green Party leadership campaign with a mandate of 85%. Since then, he’s gone from strength-to-strength, with rarely a day going by where he doesn’t dominate the news in some form or other – whilst always aiming to bring hope back to UK politics.
