The Sunrise Movement: On the Road to a Green New Deal
<p>In 2018, the world’s top scientists warned we have only 12 years to transform our economy to “avoid catastrophic environmental breakdown” within our lifetimes. Together with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the Sunrise Movement brought a plan to Congress that matches the urgency and scale of the crisis. Now, the Road to the Green New Deal is their biggest project yet. Tens of thousands of people are gathering in nearly every state to hear how the Green New Deal would improve their community and get the tools and resources to pressure their policymakers to get behind it. </p> <p>On Tuesday, May 7, 2019, the National <a href="https://www.sunrisemovement.org/tour"><u>Road to a Green New Deal Tour</u></a> is stopping in New Orleans to catalyze <strong>“Gulf South for a Green New Deal" </strong>-- an organized formation of local people and groups coming together to support existing work across our region, uplift Gulf South community leaders, and connect the Gulf South to a national movement towards racial, economic, and climate justice.<br> <br> In this episode -- recorded live on May 3, 2019 -- I speak with <strong>Kendall Dix (Healthy Gulf)</strong>, <strong>Jeremy Ornstein (Sunrise National)</strong>, and <strong>Eliana Wasserman (Housing Nola)</strong> about what they promise to be "an evening of ritual, short films, music, discussion, imagination and real conversation: about the ecological crisis we collectively face here in the Gulf South and what we must do to confront it." </p> <p><strong>Gulf South for a Green New Deal:</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>Date: </strong>Tuesday May 7th, 2019<br> </li> <li><strong>Time: </strong>6-9pm<br> </li> <li><strong>Location</strong>: Mahalia Jackson Theatre, 1419 Basin St, New Orleans, LA 70116<br> </li> <li><strong>Registration</strong>: encouraged but not required.

#NoGasPlant (aka Entergy New Orleans is Corrupt AF)
<p>Local environmental activists and residents have been fighting against Entergy and the company's plan to build a natural gas-powered power plant in New Orleans East for the past three years. Shortly after the City Council approved the plant in March 2017, just weeks before the current Council was inaugurated, investigators revealed that Entergy had been paying actors to fill seats at public meetings and voice fake support for the plant -- an illegal practice known as "astroturfing".</p> <p><br></p> <p>On Wednesday, January 23, the new City Council will consider a resolution to "rescind and repeal" the previous Council's approval of the plant. But activists say we don't just need a revote; we need the entire process to be reopened and it needs to be fair and informed from the start.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Renate Heurich (350 New Orleans), Happy Johnson (resident and activist), and Mark Nguyen (VAYLA) joined me in the studio to discuss the plant, the various scandals surrounding it, and how our new Council has a chance to do the right thing.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Thank you Renate, Happy, and Mark for you work and for joining me on the show. And thanks to the entire Energy Futures Coalition for protecting our environment, our health, and our democracy: No Gas Plant, 350 New Orleans, VAYLA New Orleans, Alliance for Affordable Energy, New Orleans Office Sierra Club, and Justice and Beyond NOLA</p> <p><br></p> <p>LEARN MORE:<br> <a href="https://exit.sc/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nogasplant.com%2F" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="https://www.nogasplant.com/">www.nogasplant.com/</a><br> <a href="https://exit.sc/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fnogasplant%2F" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="https://www.facebook.com/nogasplant/">www.facebook.com/nogasplant/</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>SIGN THE PETITON:<br> <a href="https://exit.sc/?url=https%3A%2F%2Factionnetwork.org%2F%E2%80%A6%2Fno-gas-power-plant-in-new-orlea%E2%80%A6" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="https://actionnetwork.org/…/no-gas-power-plant-in-new-orlea…">actionnetwork.org/…/no-gas-power-p…nt-in-new-orlea…</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>COME TO THE MEETING:<br> <a href="https://exit.sc/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fevents%2F387527075334447%2F" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="https://www.facebook.com/events/387527075334447/">www.facebook.com/events/387527075334447/</a><br> <a href="https://exit.sc/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fevents%2F2249530471996881%2F" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="https://www.facebook.com/events/2249530471996881/">www.facebook.com/events/2249530471996881/</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>CONTACT YOUR COUNCIL REPS:<br> <a href="https://exit.sc/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcouncil.nola.gov%2Fcouncilmembers%2F" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="https://council.nola.gov/councilmembers/">council.nola.gov/councilmembers/</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>#<a href="https://soundcloud.com/tags/neworleans%20%23environmentaljustice%20%23entergy%20%23astroturfing%20%23wtul%20%23wtulnews%20%23epno%20%23nogasplant">NewOrleans #EnvironmentalJustice #Entergy #Astroturfing #WTUL #WTULNews #EPNO #NoGasPlant</a></p>
