Neoliberal globalization deindustrialized the US. Corporations off shored production to the global South, moving better paying jobs to low wage areas. The economic consequences to workers were catastrophic. The political consequences included the rise to the presidency of Donald Trump.
The Green New Deal is a program that attempts to address this while responding to the challenge of climate change. The Green New Deal had many champions. But what is needed is first, to create the means that will produce it and second provide the ‘just transition’ that will merge trade unionists concerned about jobs with an environmental movement seeking zero-carbon burning.
What we do The Center engages in local community support and outreach to promote and advance initiatives and movements toward social justice, grassroots empowerment and democracy, and environmental sustainability. It is also devoted to critical analysis of the processes and impacts of globalization, both local and international. The Center works to develop alternative socio-economic systems that conserve and share the world’s cultural, economic, and environmental resources for the benefit of humankind.
