LA Supports Green New Deal. Councilman Bonin Explains Why (Video)
JOBS AND ENVIRONMENT PACKAGE (VIDEO)-The City Council Voted unanimously this week to officially support the ambitious and necessary goals of the #GreenNewDeal.

It is also a jobs program that will lift up and recreate the American middle Class, giving working families the same opportunity, hope, and optimism that FDR’s new deal game those fighting to survive the Great Depression.

LA has been leading the way toward the sustainable future for years. (Read the rest and see councilman Bonin’s video here.)
