On Earth Day, AOC Celebrates Millions of Dollars for Green New Deal Community Projects, All Across the U.S.
The Bronx, NY - On Earth Day, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is celebrating the recent allocation of millions in federal funding for ‘Green-New Deal certified’ community projects. In March, President Biden signed into law an omnibus bill that fully funded community projects that had been requested by Members of Congress (aka - earmarks). Sixty of these community projects meet the Green New Deal’s standards for green jobs, environmental justice and decarbonization. On Earth Day, the Congresswoman is celebrating this achievement by awarding these 60 community projects, submitted by 36 Members, an official Green New Deal (GND) certification.
“These Green New Deal community projects are a testament to when people say that we can’t, we say, ‘watch us work’,’’ said Rep. Ocasio-Cortez in a statement. “We are going to find creative ways to make sure we can get this done, and fight climate change, so that we can secure jobs and environmental justice for our communities.”
