AOC’s ‘Art of the Green New Deal:’ We Can Be Whatever We Have the Courage to See

‘We found our shared purpose’

EXCERPT:

OCASIO-CORTEZ: “By committing to universal rights like health care and meaningful work for all, we stopped being so scared of the future. We stopped being scared of each other, and we found our shared purpose. Ileana heard the call, too, and in 2028 she ran for office in the first cycle of publicly funded election campaigns, and now she occupies the seat that I once held. I couldn't be more proud of her, a true child of the Green New Deal. When I think back to my first term in Congress, riding that old-school Amtrak in 2019, all of this was still ahead of us. And the first big step was just closing our eyes and imagining it. We can be whatever we have the courage to see."
