Climate activists take virtual center stage tonight

摘要

The Democratic National Committee will feature young climate activists and a union worker, among others, during a presentation about climate change during the third night of the party's national convention. This evening's theme is "A More Perfect Union," and the second segment is "A More Perfect Union ... Means Tackling Climate Change," organizers said this morning. The segment will feature three parts: a speech by New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D), a video on presidential nominee Joe Biden's climate plan by an unidentified International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers union member and a "conversation" with young climate change activists. The presentation comes amid some signs of friction between the Democratic Party and progressive activists. Progressives yesterday accused the party of removing from the party platform a provision calling for an end to fossil fuel subsidies (E&E Daily, Aug. 19).
