Print More

The next Jamaica Plain Forum will feature Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley and Rev. Mariama White-Hammond leading a town hall discussion about the Green New Deal.

In her first term, Pressley (D-MA 7th) has been a vocal leader about supporting a Green New Deal for the country that would transition our country from fossil fuels to clean energy.

"The ecological and economic justice challenges of our time require all of us to work for an equitable, healthy and livable planet for all. Responding to our environmental crisis must be done in a way that bridges Boston’s racial divide," says the Jamaica Plain Forum website about the town hall. "A just and sustainable transition must follow the leadership of women of color who have helped move forward many critical issues in our current political environment. Women of color leading the way!"
