Mid-Atlantic Local Leaders Virtual Roundtable
February 8, 2022 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
| Free
We’re enlisting the voices of mayors and local officials in our region, who are on the frontlines handling the crises that climate change is already creating. Join us for a Mid-Atlantic Local Electeds Virtual Roundtable to learn about your local officials stance on the Build Back Better Act and ask the questions you have always wanted answered.
The more people who show up, the stronger a message we’ll be able to send both to these local officials and federal lawmakers that failure is not an option.
Featured guests

Mayor Steven Fulop, Jersey City, NJ

In poll after poll, President Biden’s plan to tackle the climate crisis, invest in green infrastructure and technology, and create millions of new jobs is supported by overwhelming margins. This is the most ambitious climate plan proposed by any American president ever, and it’s clear that the country is hungry for it. We are talking about millions of new jobs, billions invested in a clean energy economy, and concrete steps to break down systemic inequalities and address the harms that the environmental justice movement has been fighting for years.
Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about how municipal officials would use investments from the Build Back Better Act and ask them questions about what this bill could mean for your community.
