Now imagine if social movements-from the fight to protect the planet to campaigns promoting global health or LGBTQIA+ rights-had the same fervent support as your favorite artists.Adam Met, climate advocate, educator, and member of the multiplatinum band AJR, gained firsthand experience growing an audience from the ground up as the band progressed from playing in living rooms to selling out arenas. With award-winning journalist Heather Landy, Met shows how to apply fan-building strategies to social movements in exciting, inventive ways.
