What Is the Green New Deal?

 
The Green New Deal is an ambitious, risky, possibly brilliant, and definitely controversial plan to slow climate change via a broad, progressive economic stimulus package for the USA.

On March 21, 2019, ClimateRecovery.org and American Resistance Sevilla held a Green New Deal Roundtable to discuss the Green New Deal and what it might mean for all of us.
