"Sometimes I think about it like video game design" Organising in the USA with the Sunrise Movement

Get involved with the Retrofit Get-in Project https://vimeo.com/459003183The Green New Deal has been around for just over a decade, with it's origins beginning in the U.K. It made it's first big splash in the US with the likes of AOC and Bernie Sanders calling for the fundamental decarbonising of the US economy and economic justice for all citizens. The support for the GND and these candidates doesn't come from wall street but a ever growing grass roots campaign that wants life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness to be for all Americans. This week we are joined by Guido Girgenti from the Sunrise Movement & the Justice Democrats (@guidogir) to discuss how the GND plays in in US politics, How do you organise in such a large nation, how to appeal to young voters and people Bernies age and what work progressives have to do if Joe Biden wins the presidential election. linksSunrise Movement https://www.sunrisemovement.org/We shine Bright- New book by the Sunrise Movement https://bookshop.org/books/winning-the-green-new-deal-why-we-must-how-we-can/9781982142438Gabriel Wienant Chronopoliticshttps://nplusonemag.com/issue-37/politics/coronavirus-and-chronopolitics-2/Swarm wise by Rick Falkvinge https://falkvinge.net/files/2013/04/Swarmwise-2013-by-Rick-Falkvinge-v1.1-2013Sep01.pdfShout outJamall Bowman running for New York 16th district@JamaalBowmanNYLouie Beckett running the Moston miners community centerProgressive International and Pawel Wargan@ProgIntlManchester Green Summit@GMGreenCity Our retrofit projecthttps://vimeo.com/459003183If you like the show tell your comrades!Find us on Twitter:@MCRGND_PODInsta: ManchestergndpodFB:MCRGNDPODSupport the show
