On the five-year anniversary of the Green New Deal, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) praised her resolution’s ability to spark worldwide climate change policies and green energy projects, despite not passing the deal through Congress.

Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA), along with several other Democrats and climate activists, joined Ocasio-Cortez outside the Capitol on Thursday to celebrate the resolution’s anniversary and celebrate a report highlighting their achievements and future green energy goals.
