Markey your calendars: Evergreen’s next Policy + Pints happy hour is coming up—and, as you might have guessed, Senator Ed Markey is joining us! We’re going to be talking about the urgent need to launch a Civilian Climate Corps. (Think of it as a justice-driven, climate-centered version of FDR’s Civilian Conservation Corps.)
In this virtual BYOB special hosted by Evergreen Action campaigns director Lena Moffitt, we’ll chat with:
- Senator Markey
- Tonya Gayle, executive director, Green City Force
- Lauren Maunus, advocacy director, Sunrise Movement
about:
- Why the CCC is such a powerful opportunity for taking on our overlapping climate and economic crises
- How overwhelmingly popular it is
- What corpsmembers would actually do in communities across the country
- And more!
Bring beer, tea, wine, kombucha—whatever!—and join us on Wednesday, July 14 at 4 pm ET / 1 pm PT.
