Some DNC members are planning events emphasizing what they see as another existential crisis.
On Monday, the party’s youth council will meet with activists focused on the disproportionate impact pollution has on poor and minority communities.
And on Tuesday, another committee, the DNC Council on the Environment and Climate Crisis, will host a two-hour virtual event with panels on Biden’s climate plan and why Democrats should run on climate change.
Speakers at that event include Washington Gov. Jay Inslee (D), who cast climate change as the central issue of our time during his own presidential run; environmentalist and financier Tom Steyer, who also ran for president; and Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison. The party is also planning to host three other virtual, hour-long briefings on investing in clean energy, building environmentally sustainable infrastructure and tackling climate.
