The town hall will feature a number of political, movement, and community leaders as speakers. This community forum in Philly will enhance the network of local leaders for the GND and set the vision for a GND in Philadelphia. The far right has been waging an all out attack on the GND at the federal level, but through events like town halls we can show that we have the grassroots support on our side, and vision for what the GND would mean for Philadelphia.

Participants will reflect on the pain of living through the climate crisis, the fury at the fossil fuel billionaires and political elites who have failed us, the hope of finally having an opportunity to solve the crisis, and the resolve to see that opportunity all the way through to governing power.

Speakers will include political leaders who are championing the effort for the Green New Deal in City Hall and local community leaders who are leading the way to the transition to a society that works for all of us and protects the air we breathe, water we drink, and places we call home.

Speakers include:

• Helen Gym (Councilwoman At-Large), Chris Rabb (PA House of Representatives, District 200), Peter Knowlton (President of UE), Erika Almirón and Adrian Rivera-Reyes (Candidates At-Large for Philadelphia City Council), Tabitha Skervin (Campaign Director of Earth Quaker Action Team), Jacob Butterly (Poor People’s Campaign), Tammy Murphy (Better Path Coalition & The Poor People’s Campaign), Shawmar Pitts (Philly Thrive).
