Green Collar Jobs Can Rebuild the 6th District

October 28, 2008


Green-Collar Jobs Campaign is making huge strides in Oakland and throughout California.

As you may have heard, the launch of Oakland's first-ever Green Jobs Corps happened last week. The inaugural class of 40 young people will get comprehensive, job-linked training in green careers with solid, long-term potential.

With proper leadership, we're turning our vision of a green economy that's strong enough to lift people out of poverty into reality. But there's still more work to do.

Ella Baker Center has become a local, statewide, and national example of how solutions to the climate crisis benefit our communities, the sagging economy, AND our planet. Our Green-Collar Jobs Campaign has had the opportunity :

· Help other cities in the Bay Area launch green career training programs.

· Expand the statewide coalition of community organizations, environmentalists, labor unions, green business leaders and others who are calling for green jobs and green economic growth.

· Advocate for green job training and employment opportunities in the state capitol and across California.

Earlier this year -- California's biggest green jobs bill almost all the way through the state legislature. Now they are putting together an improved version for 2009, which will invest over $2 billion in green career education and training throughout California.

By electing Green Party Candidates we will help the Green-Collar Jobs Campaign extend our reach and strengthen our role as a valued partner in building green jobs throughout Ohio as well. Your support will also help us boost the success of programs that will prepare thousands of people for clean-energy careers.

Now is the time to invest in solutions that protect our planet's natural resources and benefit our communities' "natural resources" -- its people.
