On this episode of the Organizing Victory Podcast, Lee Perry talks with Giancarlo Rodriguez, local chapter organizer with Sunrise Movement Orlando, about turning Green New Deal politics into real local wins. Orlando has zero rapid transit and one of the fastest-growing housing crises in the country. Giancarlo breaks down the Star Plan, Sunrise's plan to fix it.They dig into what the Green New Deal actually proposes and the propaganda used against it, the Star Plan's push to fund rail and bus rapid transit across eight corridors (Colonial, Semoran, Silver Star, Orange Blossom Trail, International Drive, the Sunshine Corridor, Kirkman, and SunRail), and how Orlando's tourism economy shaped decades of underinvestment in transit and housing. They also cover Florida's $7 billion in Inflation Reduction Act funding and the $400 million Solar for All program blocked by DeSantis, why volunteer-powered organizing can outweigh corporate money in local elections, and what's on the ballot in 2026. This episode was recorded before the August 18th primary election. https://www.sunriseorlandofl.org/star
