Milwaukee, WI - Acción Ciudadana de Wisconsin (Citizen Action of Wisconsin-CAW) held a Green New Deal (GND) gathering at the Freight 38 Nighclub with local members and allies to kick-off a campaign to educate the populace that "we're headed for a climate genocide that will disproportionately affect marginalized communities already dealing with the consequences of decades of neglect and deindustralization," according to CAW. CAW goal is to educate the public about the GND campaign that has been launched to educate the public about the importance of the GND and how the climate is affecting their lives; will provide civic 101 trainings and neighborhood canvasses to inform and identify leaders to become part of the campaign and to built a base and identify local support in communities of color to help promote funding sources from public elected officials, according to CAW.
Luz Sosa, the CAW community organizer says that members of CAW will knock on doors to help educate people about the Green New Deal and its affects. According to Sosa, CAW is the first non-profit organization to launch a GND campaign in the country.
Those attending were Milwaukee County Supervisor Steven Shea and Milwaukee Public School Board member Tony Baez.
