IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0Jobs Justice & Climate- RDI expanded our Jobs, Justice & Climate work by deepening our relationshipswith key strategic partners on a state, regional and national level building towards a transformative vision to have an equity-based just transition of the economy.- In Vermont, we have worked with Vermont State Labor Council AFL-CIO, the Nulhegan Band of the Coosuk Abenaki Nation, local chapters of the Sunrise Movement and key leaders such as former State Representative Kiah Morris.- Starting Fall 2019, RDI conducted over 40 stakeholder interviews with a broad range of groups to identify the key values of our communities which will need to underpin the policy solutions we will need to meet the challenges ahead.- On October 9, 2019 we hosted a panel with over 250 participants at Castleton State College exploring a Green Mountain New Deal with State Representative Robin Chestnut-Tangerman and Beatrice Parwatikar from the Rutland AreaNAACP.- After interviewing dozens of partners across the region, we realized the deeply interconnectedness of our shared challenges. In December 2019, RDI helped convene allied groups across New England about building a region wide vision for a Green New Deal. The groups included the New Hampshire Youth Movement, 350NH, Maine Peoples Alliance, Connecticut Citizen Action Group, Rhode Island Political Co-op, and the Massachusetts Green New Deal Coalition.- RDI also began working in closer collaboration with our national partners Peoples Action and the Center For Popular Democracy on this work. In late 2019, we began working with them to help plan and facilitate a public education and narrative development process to create a shared vision for an equitable future. In addition to getting their support, we hoped to make sure our work in Vermont and across the region was connected to the new Green New Deal national network, which was being built on a similar timeline.
