A Green New Deal in Kingston, NY
Tuesday, May 11, 2021
12:15 pm – 1:30 pm EDT/GMT-4
Public Presentation and Conversation with Community
Demands for good jobs for all are informing current policy discussions. The current administration is considering federal support for local job creation as part of the Civilian Climate Corps (CCC) and the Green New Deal. Students from Bard College’s Right to Employment course have undertaken a project analyzing how a CCC public service employment program could be locally implemented in both Kingston and Newburgh, NY. Preliminary conversations with local community leaders and policy makers informed the proposals. The public presentations include an evaluation of the number of people that could be employed, the kinds of community projects that could be created, the organizations that could help run the projects, and the expected impact on the cities.
