Description
We’re now more than a month removed from the 2020 elections, and a little more than a month away from President-Elect Joe Biden and Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris officially taking office...So, what do we know about their plans for tackling the climate crisis? What’s been happening on that front during these last five weeks? And, most importantly, what could happen over the next four years? Well, quite a lot, actually...In this episode, co-hosted by Sam Eilertsen and oral historian Maggie Lemere we hear answers to those questions and more from Senator Ed Markey, Sunrise Movement political director Evan Weber, climate journalist Kate Aronoff (co-author of A Planet to Win: Why We Need a Green New Deal), and Data for Progress Vice President Julian Brave Noisecat.

S1 Ep1 | The Pelosi Sit-In: In the past two years, climate change has gone from the backburner to the center stage. Why? It all started with a protest in Nancy Pelosi’s office in 2018. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez teamed up with a then-obscure youth activist group called Sunrise Movement to launch the fight for a Green New Deal. It took a lot of planning, courage, and also luck to make it happen, and we’re bringing you the inside story. Featuring Varshini Prakash and Sarah Duckett of Sunrise Movement and Waleed Shahid of Justice Democrats. Support GenGND: https://www.patreon.com/generationgnd by Generation Green New Deal
