From the New Deal to the Green New Deal: Stories of Crisis and Possibility In the mixer lesson modeled in this workshop, participants learn about the possibilities of an ambitious and multifaceted Green New Deal through the stories of a wide variety of people who interacted with 1930s New Deal policies. When confronting the climate crisis, we want more activities to energize students not only by the harm that must be prevented, but also by the beautiful possibilities on the carbon-free horizon, the kind of future expressed in the ambitions of the Green New Deal. Join us for this lively — and hopeful — activity.
