Amherst Green New Deal Town Hall
Amherst Regional High School (Amherst, Massachusetts)
Amherst, MA Map
Learn from young activists, community organizers, and policy experts about why we need economic and environmental transformation, and how we can achieve it.
We will elevate the stories of people who stand to benefit from the Green New Deal and help everyone understand that the GND isn't about taking away cows or cars; it's about building things up and investing in the American people. We will begin by talking about the impacts of climate change and economic inequality, discuss who is responsible for the crisis, then discuss the Green New Deal -- what’s in it and what it means for our lives and our society, and close out with discussing what it will take to see the Green New Deal into law.
This event will be led by young people from Amherst High School and Amherst College.
Co-sponsored by Climate Action Now, Western Mass CCE, Amherst College Students for Climate Action
