Join AC Transit Board candidate Jovanka Beckles, Berkeley City Councilmembers Kate Harrison and Cheryl Davila, Building Trades union member Rob Rooke, and bus operator and labor organizer Nathaniel Arnold for a discussion on putting public transit at the center of a Green New Deal for the East Bay.
East Bay Democratic Socialists of America hosts this event. They write:
“Last month wildfires raged across the West Coast, choking the Bay Area with smoke and leaving us with the worst air quality in the world. Ever-increasing greenhouse gas emissions make our climate hotter while our quality of life deteriorates. We must implement a Green New Deal — a massive public investment in green infrastructure — to curb emissions while ensuring good jobs for all. We can begin instituting a local Green New Deal now with massively expanded, fare-free public transit. “
