AOC to headline Green New Deal rally in DC next week

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., will headline a rally this month in Washington, D.C. promoting the Green New Deal.

Youth climate change organization the Sunrise Movement will stage a “Road to a Green New Deal Tour” rally at Howard University on May 13. The event could cause a headache for Nancy Pelosi, the House speaker, who is concerned about the leftwards drift of her party and remarked recently that Democrats won back the House majority because: “We did not engage in some of the other exuberances that exist in our party.”
