Join us for the first of six spirited conversations in our Spring Speaker Series: Artists Envisioning a Green New Deal where we’ll hear from artists and experts. The first question we’ll ask is: What is a Green New Deal?
Playwright Marcus Youssef, public policy researcher Seth Klein, and activist Day Bradshaw of the Sunrise Movement will answer the question from their own perspective and share how they are engaging with the policy platform. Marcus and Seth will also read the short play they developed together for Climate Change Theatre Action 2021. The conversation will be moderated by artistic director Chantal Bilodeau.
