Hello! Just wanted to let interested DMS creators know – the final “Artists for a Green New Deal” call will be taking place this Thursday Sept 5 from 7-9 pm, and we’ll be meeting up locally to join in on the call at Paul Quinn College in the library! (PQC has a main gate; the library is the first building inside the gate and to your right)
The third call will be specifically about how artists/artisans can plug into efforts to promote and imagine and think about the Green New Deal, both locally and nationwide. At our local meetup we’ll also discuss how artists can join local environmental justice struggles in the DFW area.

Description of the third call event:
CALL 3: BUILDING STRATEGY AND CO-CREATING CULTURE
Artists are the storytellers, visionaries, and the heart of our movements for change.
You’ve learned about the nuts and bolts of a Green New Deal: now it’s time to strategize about how we can all be a part of making it real. On this call, we’ll hear from movement organizers and arts and cultural workers who are rolling up their sleeves to make the Green New Deal a reality. Then, we’ll share opportunities to plug into next steps with the U.S. Department of Arts and Culture and other partners.
Guest Presenters:
Ronee Penoi and Tara Moses, Groundwater Arts
