From the Original New Deal to the Green New Deal
Wednesday, September 30, 6:00–8:00pm EST
Starting out as a set of aspirational policy objectives, the Green New Deal has rapidly gained traction among policymakers, change agents and the public. It draws its inspiration from the New Deal (1933-1942), which offers a compelling model for tackling the challenges ahead.

Our distinguished speakers will lead a discussion about the economic, environmental, social, and political changes that many of us want to see and be part of.
