MIDDLEBURY — The organization Sunrise Middlebury invites the public to a Vermont Town Hall Meeting this week to learn about the Green New Deal. The event will take place from 6-8 p.m. on Friday, April 19, at Mead Chapel on the Middlebury College campus.
The town hall will offer the opportunity to listen to presentations on the Green New Deal for Vermont and the U.S. as well as the Sunrise movement. Participants are encouraged to share stories about the impacts of climate change and discuss what a Green New Deal could mean for Vermont.
A lot of people are inspired by the vision of a Green New Deal. And history has shown us that the sweeping societal change we’re calling for with the Green New Deal can only be won with an alignment of political and social movements that establish the political ‘common sense,’ and advance a shared agenda for society. We know we can’t do this alone. Town Halls are an opportunity to build relationships and power with other organizations and movements who share our values and have interest in the Green New Deal.
Guests are asked to park in the Mahaney Arts Center lot located off of South Main Street.
