Tlaib – one of the lead proponents of the Green New Deal – will be joined by AFA President Sara Nelson and Leah Penniman, co-director of Soul Fire Farm, as part of a virtual summit looking at how climate change will impact Central Florida, with the ambitious goal to locally build “a climate movement rooted in justice.”
The program includes a short film following three Orlando residents who came to Central Florida Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria.
Central Florida Climate Action Launch happens on Wednesday, Aug. 26 – appropriate timing in that Florida had a near-miss with yet another storm this hurricane season – at 5:45 p.m. on Facebook Live.
