Austin Erblat of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel profiled Next100 policy entrepreneur Marcela Mulholland, who was raised in the Fort Lauderdale area. Their interview touched on how Marcela realized that small parts of growing up, like moving to high ground or putting sandbags out, were connected to climate change; why it isn’t just a “single issue,” but also connected to the economy and immigration; and more.
“We live in a time of intersecting crises—from immigration to health care to economic inequality—there are so many issues that are really urgent that we need intersectional, bold, ambitious public policy solutions and I think a Green New Deal promises to address climate change while also helping to address some of those other issues as well.”
