“The stake was stronger than a name on a ballot”

Remember a few weeks ago The essential painted the portrait of Liz Breuer, 24, Luxembourgeoise living in New York. A few hours after Joe Biden’s victory in the American election, we again approached the young woman who has opened her own marketing agency, New Normal Bureau, which supports sustainable brands. What does the return of the Democrats to the White House and the defeat of Donald Trump represent for her, a foreigner and an entrepreneur? “Relief!” She replies without delay.

The challenges were great, according to her, behind this election. “The stake was stronger than a name on a ballot paper,” slips Liz, who lists “climate change, access to health care, women’s rights, LGBTQ + rights, immigration. .. ”. She concedes, “Biden is not the ideal candidate for the progressivism that this nation needs, but it is a step in the right direction.”

“The Biden administration will be held responsible”

As Biden suggested in her first speeches, the Luxembourger hopes Americans will put aside the differences and the hatred that have created a wedge and divided the country. But for her who has made it a daily personal and professional cause, one of the main struggles at the national level must be the fight against climate change. “Joe Biden presented an ambitious program, with the return to the Paris Agreement and a Green New Deal that will create green jobs and support disadvantaged communities … The United States must stimulate its economy in a way sustainable for us and future generations ”.

Too idealistic a vision? Not for Liz Breuer. “The Biden administration will be held accountable, this vote must start a movement, not just a moment. I am enthusiastic”.

(Nicolas Chauty / The essential)
