At our 5/27/2020 webinar, "The Pandemic, The Economy and #JustTransition," the legendary Noam Chomsky reminded us that there are options to addressing our current economic, healthcare and political systems. The need has never been more urgent, especially since those who helped to get us to the current crisis are not sitting back; they're proceeding relentlessly.

Sample Post for Thea

Our economy and environment are being burned to the ground by irresponsible actors within government and business. If, as Greta Thunberg has said, “our house is on fire,” then Economic Policy Institute President Thea Lee is one of the firefighters charting the path out of the inferno.

Thea joined us on May 27 for our kick-off webinar of the Just Transition Listening Project: “The Pandemic, The Economy and #JustTransition.” Her comments made clear the sobering truth that how we treat our workers has a direct impact on the resiliency of our economy and country. She made clear, in the plainest terms, that the economic devastation we’re seeing now is likely to be just a glimpse of what climate change will bring.

Pandemic. #ClimateChange. Economic ruin. When we are faced with complex problems of a global scale, where do we turn for answers?

Distinguished economist Robert Pollin is a good place to start. At our May 27th webinar, "The Pandemic, The Economy and #JustTransition," Pollin outlined a bold plan to reduce U.S. carbon emissions by 45% within 10 years while ADDING 9 million green jobs per year in the process.

Everyone will be affected by the massive environmental and economic problems we are facing and will continue to face in the coming years. Anyone can choose to be part of the solution.
