OLCV Virtual Town Hall with Senator Jeff Merkley
2021-08-16
Senator Merkley is fighting to help the U.S. build back better post-pandemic by investing in clean energy, jobs, and justice. The Senate will be voting soon on a bipartisan infrastructure proposal that will be a good starting point in addressing the climate crisis. But there’s still more work to do. Another key plan would invest $3.5 trillion in clean energy, taking the U.S. to 100% clean energy by 2035, while also creating good-paying union jobs and directing at least 40% of the benefits to communities most affected by climate change.
Senator Merkley will talk to you about this vision for the future, update us on how things are going in Washington D.C., and answer audience questions.
