Event Information

We are thrilled to announce that we are launching the first phase of our national Green New Deal campaign on Thursday, April 14, 2022! Join us as we hear from Hugo Soto-Martinez, Paul Prescod, Sarahana Shrestha, Robert Bell, and Elisabeth Epps.

If we are to effectively pressure Congress, we must build power at the grassroots level. So, in the spirit of class struggle elections, we are proud to present: The Green New Deal Slate.

The following candidates, picked from those endorsed by the National Electoral Committee, have joined our Green New Deal Slate. We selected these candidates through thorough research and collaboration with local DSA chapters. Local chapters’ strategic vision helps advance climate legislation in office.

Over the next few months, we will be fundraising, canvassing and phone/text-banking for these candidates to help them beat elected officials who are deep in the pockets of fossil capitalists. Here they are - the people who are going to help us start winning the fight for Green New Deal all over the country in 2023 and beyond:

• Paul Prescod (PA, State Senate District 8)

• Robert Bell (KY, State House District 43)

• Tyler Lamon (Louisville, KY, City Council District 15)

• David Alexis (NY, State Senate District 21)

• Sarahana Shrestha (NY, State Assembly District 103)

• Vanessa Agudelo (NY, State Assembly District 95)

• Illapa Sairitupac (NY, State Assembly District 65)

• James Coleman (CA, State Assembly District 21)

• Hugo Soto-Martinez (LA City Council, District 13)

• Elisabeth Epps (CO, State House District 6)

With many of our elected bodies under the stranglehold of fossil capital, we are clearly up against some strong enemies. That is why when we fight, we must fight together. Enter the 2022 Green New Deal Slate. A slate is our best tool to show our collective power in action. It demonstrates that we are committed to fighting alongside one another––on the ground, online, and at the ballot box–– to not only win these crucial seats but to collaborate across the country after Election Day and advance our goals.

We cannot wait to see you on April 14th for this launch call. Be sure to register today!
