Climate Justice Alliance joined Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Senator Ed Markey and other congressional and movement allies on the National Mall in Washington DC in April 2021 to reintroduce the Green New Deal.
Decades of Indigenous/frontline wisdom and organizing, and a myriad of contributions from the climate justice movement have paved the way to the current Green New Deal moment. Climate Justice Alliance members have made local versions of the Green New Deal a reality from New York City to Oregon, centering traditional ecological and cultural knowledge and creating pathways for a regenerative future. It’s imperative that we build off of these community-based, frontline-led victories, and that we place frontline communities at the center of the solutions equation.
