Green New Deal for Hawaii – Citizen Engagement and Advocacy
With the federal government in Washington turning away from taking action on climate change, Hawaii is now challenged to create its own “Green New Deal.” Senator Russell Ruderman spoke about the citizen skills necessary to get government to enact legislation.
What should Hawaii’s Green New Deal look like? What are the choices and challenges facing us from the threats of climate change? These questions and more were addressed and delivered by Senator Ruderman. This event was part of Global HOPE’s America in Crisis Series.
Senator Ruderman engaged the crowd with both unique and popular perspectives on Citizen advocacy and engagement. The crowd at the University shared a consistent message about getting things done. Senator Ruderman shared actionable items that anyone can do to get more involved and get their messages heard. Greta Thunberg’s name was on the minds of everyone in attendance.

As always Global Hope delivered a great event with students and community members of all ages. It was a really great night for citizen, constituent and members of our growing climate action community.
