Subject: Green For All testifies in Congress
Karen,
Right now, Green For All's President Van Jones is testifying before Congress at
a hearing on green jobs and the economic stimulus.
Read his testimony here.
At the hearing, Jones will dispel several myths about green jobs, and urge
Congress to "move aggressively from inspiration to implementation" -
starting with fully funding the Green Jobs Act.
The hearing is held by the Select Committee on Energy Independence and
Global Warming, chaired by climate champion Rep. Ed Markey, and will focus
on creating jobs and stimulating the economy through renewable energy and
energy efficiency.
Join
Green For All in telling Congress to Green the Stimulus. More than 11,000
people have already sent letters to their representatives. Take Action
today, and pass along to your friends.
