Steelworker Town Halls
Something exciting is happening across our country -- and it's not what many would expect. People in communities from Ohio to Nevada are gathering to talk about how we can solve the climate crisis and improve the economy. The Blue Green Alliance and the United Steelworkers are joining the We Campaign to hold 13 town hall meetings across the U.S.
These “Green Jobs for America —We Can Solve It Town Halls” each feature community leaders highlighting the ways good green jobs can help solve the climate crisis and create economic prosperity. Each meeting allows time for real discussion among participants.
At the first Town Hall, held June 18, 2008 in Midland, MI, more than 100 people joined the conversation. They found ways to encourage others to get involved and demand that we invest in renewable energy -- because our jobs and environment are depending on it!
All 13 town halls are scheduled for the end of June. Look for one near you: Illinois | Michigan | Nevada | Ohio | Wisconsin
