#GreenNewDeal IN THE NEWS…
Massachusetts can’t get enough of the GND!
First, Ed Markey wins a resounding victory over a Kennedy (for the first time in State history) by running hard on his GND leadership, now, Mayor of Boston, incumbent Democrat Marty Walsh (who strongly endorsed Markey in the primary,) faces a tough race himself.
But this time, the challenger, Michelle Wu—a staunchly progressive Boston City Council Member—is the one who is quite literally running on her own version of a Green New Deal, for Boston. Wu just released the plan and it’s already making waves for its intersectional, justice-centered, approach, and incorporation of Pandemic recovery plans. Wu is not only the first Asian-American city-council person in Boston’s history, she would also be the city’s first mayor of color.
Keep an eye on this race—it could be another big test of the power and appeal of the GND, this time on the city-level.
HERE’S WHAT #GenGND IS READING (& LISTENING TO) THIS WEEK…

READ about what it’s like to try Translating a Wildfire Emergency, by Yessennia Funes in ATMOS—an increasingly dire problem, when life-saving news is often reported only in English in places like California, home to millions of Spanish-speakers.
