Howie Hawkins to Speak in Freeport on Monday, October 15 at 7:30 PM

Howie Hawkins, the Green Party candidate for Governor, will be at the Freeport Memorial Library, 144 West Merrick Road, Freeport, NY on Monday, October 15, at 7:30PM.

Hawkins will outline his Green New Deal plan to deal with climate change and promote job creation, as well as address the issue of education reform and high property taxes.

In 2014, Howie Hawkins and the Green Party received 5% of the vote for governor, forcing Governor Cuomo to compete for progressive votes by adopting Greens demands in his way including a ban on fracking, a $15 statewide minimum wage plan, paid family leave, and tuition-free public college.

The event is open to the general public.
