Season 2, Episode 1: Michelle Wu

 
 

July 8, 2021

Could Boston become the greenest city in the world? Leading Boston mayoral candidate and city council member Michelle Wu believes it can.

Michelle may very well be America’s most important municipal climate leader. In our conversation, Michelle discusses her far-reaching vision of Boston as the world’s leading green city and her detailed Boston Green New Deal plan that takes an integrated approach to the climate crisis with policies to address climate justice, housing, food, transportation, support of Boston’s small businesses, and more. Michelle also discusses her experience growing up as a first generation American citizen, and how her family, culture, and her own life experiences shaped her into the forward-thinking leader she is today. Her compelling life story is utterly improbable — as is her rapid rise in the rough and tumble world of Boston politics.

Michelle may very well become Boston’s next mayor. Join us for a compelling conversation and some inspiration on how a new, young generation of leaders is stepping up to meet the ultimate challenge of our time.
