Green New Deal Town Hall Meeting with Senator Ed Markey | April 23, 2019

In a jam-packed Marshall Middle School auditorium U.S. Senator Ed Markey (D-Mass.) discussed the highly politicized Green New Deal (GND). Markey, who co-sponsored the GND with freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), organized the panel-style forum at the Lynn school with Dr. Stephen Young, a science and climate professor from Salem State University, and Roxana Rivera, vice president of 32BJ SEIU, one of the largest property services workers unions. The three of them were given a warm welcome from the audience, which was filled with local and state officials along with residents from all over eastern Massachusetts.
