New convention speakers to focus on climate, energy

摘要

The Democratic National Committee announced a new crop of speakers for the second night of the party's largely virtual national convention. The Democrats announced today that veteran, fisherman and party activist Chuck Degnan from Alaska will address climate change impacts on tribal waters. From Idaho, Boise Mayor Lauren McLean will discuss her city's efforts to address climate change, a release said. And from California, Rep. Barbara Lee (D) and former Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis will focus on how presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden's clean energy plan would help communities of color. The remarks will come during a section of the convention highlighting delegations from around the country. "A moment like this demands leadership - not just from those we've elected, but from all of us," said Joe Solmonese, CEO of the Democratic National Convention Committee.
