H.Res.109, aka the Green New Deal, was introduced in the House last week by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and it expected to come to the floor for a debate and a vote. A similar bill, introduced to the Republican controlled Senate by Ed Markey, is expected not to advance. Even though this bill does not have a chance of passing, it is forcing all potential presidential candidates to take sides. The political Right, will use this issue to paint Democrats as Socialist.
For our next meeting, we will discuss the Green Nrw Deal and its political ramifications. Here are some of the videos:
- Rep. Ocasio-Cortez proposing Green New Deal to fight climate change
