Description

Join us for a presentation given by Tom Hayden on the eve of the opening of the United Nations treaty talks. Hayden, a U-M graduate and California environmental leader will discuss how Michigan and the Great Lakes region can move the US towards the protections of a clean energy economy. He believes the problems of economic recession and climate crisis must be addressed in a Global Green New Deal.

This event will include a book signing and copies of several of Tom Hayden’s books will be for sale.

After over 50 years of activism, politics and writing, Tom Hayden is still a leading voice for ending the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan, for erasing sweatshops, saving the environment, and reforming politics through a more participatory democracy. He was a leader of the student, civil rights, peace and environmental movements of the 1960s, and went on to serve 18 years in the California legislature, where he chaired labor, higher education and natural resources committees.
