.SenMarkey and Rep AOC re-introduced the 'Green New Deal,' a pared-down version of their original sweeping climate bill meant to shape the spending of billions of dollars authorized by last year's Inflation Reduction Act.
Congressional Democrats reintroduced the "Green New Deal" on Thursday, a pared-down version of their original sweeping climate resolution that is meant to shape the spending of billions of dollars authorized by last year's Inflation Reduction Act.
Markey also joined Rep. Ro Khanna to introduce the"Green New Deal for Health," new legislation that will enable the healthcare system to respond to climate disasters and provide aid to the people and communities affected. Similar to the IRA, that resolution also called for an overhaul of U.S. transportation system to eliminate pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, but unlike the IRA, it sought to do so largely by investing more in systems of public transportation and high-speed rails.
Still, supporters of the Green New Deal stressed that today's reintroduction was just a first step, stressing they remain devoted to their loftier climate goals. The presser also served as a sort of victory lap for lawmakers, who touted the original effort as the spark that helped ignite a broader grassroots movement for climate change.
