From the New Deal to the Green New Deal: Connecting the Dots Between the Past and the Future
The New York City branch of the Living New Deal will host a virtual panel discussion on the Green New Deal—the 1.0 version under FDR and the need for a 21st Century iteration to meet the social, economic and climate challenges of our time. Keynote speaker, Robert Kuttner—noted economist and editor of The American Prospect—will be joined by a multi-disciplinary panel including NYC Parks Commissioner Mitchell Silver; visionary green architect Elisa Iturbe; historian Deborah Gardner; Green New Deal policy and design expert Billy Fleming and Julian Noisecat—writer, researcher and climate justice and indigenous sovereignty activist. Historian, journalist and novelist Kevin Baker will moderate the discussion. To reserve your spot on the call, please contact Peggy Crane. Watch for an e-vite later this month featuring speakers’ bios and a Zoom link to the event, along with the opportunity to submit your questions in advance.
