Sustainable Futures Speaker Series

Panelists Daniel Adel, Helena Birecki and Abby Carlstad discuss “We are Sunrise: Building a Movement of Young People to Stop the Climate Crisis with a Green New Deal.” The Sunrise Movement was founded by youth leaders in April of 2017, and in its short existence has managed to get the Green New Deal jointly introduced into both houses of Congress. This panel explores what's next in the race to save ourselves from the climate crisis, and strategies for uniting to succeed while keeping intergenerational and inter-community justice central in the solutions.
