The Green New Deal – Powerful & Essential & Huge with 80% popularity in America

Hello, From my Minnesota perspective, I see 3 levels of the Green New Deal: The Minnesota GND, a National GND & a Global GND.

For Minnesota, it is MN Can’t Wait, our youth and Congressman Frank Hornstein and Senator Scott Dibble leading the charge. A bill is being developed.

Nationally, it is Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Senator Ed Markey’s non-binding Resolution for a Green New Deal. The GND has the support of 80% of Americans. And the youth lead Sunrise Movement is empowering young Americans to pledge and show up at the presidential debates to make sure that the Climate Change is a major topic.

Globally, check out the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).

In general, today’s GND is like FDR’s New Deal of the 1940s in that it is immense and will evolve over time. And things must happen very quickly as America did when the nation focused all effort on preparing for and fighting WW II.
