What is the DeKalb Green New Deal Summit?
Our DeKalb Green New Deal is a people-powered organizing effort that will elevate the realities of the climate crisis, push for bold solutions and help enact meaningful policy solutions to protect our communities. The 2023 DeKalb Green New Deal Summit was an opportunity for movement members to connect, learn about existing climate action initiatives, and chart out the future of a DeKalb Green New Deal.
