Report on the "Build a Campaign for the Green New Deal" Meeting. (Freedom Road Socialist Organization June 2019 newsletter.
Members of Activist San Diego and KNSJ Radio, 350.org, as well as Liberation Road and other allies, promoted and attended this meeting on Monday, May 20th, 2019. The purpose/topic of the meeting was to discuss on What is the Green New Deal? How could it transform the US economy and government spending? Focus was centered on the history of environmental initiatives in the USA and the role that climate activists and environmental organizers can play in bringing the "Green New Deal" to reality in the U.S. In lieu of a short film that could not be screened due to technical issues, former ASD Board President, Road member Jay Jayakumar, instead spoke of what is at stake via the science of warming temperatures on earth due to human activity. The meeting ended with commentary on a hopeful note that something found be done to mitigate/reverse this trend via grassroots/media/alliance building campaigns and to follow up with another meeting at a time to be announced.
The Road will continue to be involved with this issue and follow up meetings.
