Good News Santa Cruz

Creating a Vision for the California Green New Deal

00:00 /

Joining us on Good News Santa Cruz this week is Dr. Jon. Conway an environmental scientist and the Senior Research Analyst at the non-profit Greenpower, a project initiated by the Romero Institute. He and a small cohort are collaborating to create an overarching vision and policy roadmap for a California Green New Deal. This visionary roadmap now has 13 sections covering a wide array of changes required for a truly just society that honors all life. This introduction to a vast and detailed plan is only the first in a series of interviews that will be conducted as this profound social justice project develops.

This is the second Good News Santa Cruz interview featuring the California Green New Deal.

Good News Santa Cruz is a show hosted by a collective of women inspired by the peace and social justice mission of WILPF (Women's International League for Peace and Freedom). There's 104 years of history behind this show–years of women crossing many nations and facing all kinds of odds to make a world that works better for us all. And this work is still going on, as powerful as ever. Our show brings that story home, here and now, in Santa Cruz, and in real time. We air interviews with local people who are finding real ways out of the mess we're in – with stories, ideas, successes and strategies connecting across issues to achieve systems change.
