Green New Deal for Public Housing: The Way Forward

In this episode, we learn more about the existing policies around public housing, particularly the shift towards privatization. We hear about why some community organizers are against privatization and are instead pushing for renewed public investment in the form of a Green New Deal for Public Housing. We will also discuss how to make this bill a reality and how YOU can get involved.

Check out gnd4ph.com to learn more about this tenant-led, activist-supported movement. Call your representatives to tell them that we cannot wait any longer for a Green New Deal for Public Housing.
