Oregon Green New Deal Listening Session - with NAACP Eugene & Beyond Toxics
2020-08-13, 2020-08-27 | Deschutes Brewery Public House, 1044 NW Bond St, Bend, OR, 97701, United States
COVID-19 has disproportionately impacted communities of color, tribal nations, immigrants, and people with low-incomes—just like climate change, dirty energy projects, and pollution. As we look to rebuild our economy, it’s crucial that we, as people most impacted by climate change, are the ones leading the conversations. That’s why the Oregon Just Transition Alliance is launching the Oregon Green New Deal Listening Tour, asking communities across the state to help shape our collective futures.
Now more than ever, we must present our visions, ideas, and policies to build an economy that values workers, communities, and natural spaces.

Interactive online workshop sessions will be:
August 13th, 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm: BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) community
and
August 27th from 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm: our allies and supporters
