    Good Jobs for All: How to Build a Green Economy that Works for Everyone

    This week, we continue our conversation about Good Jobs for All with Sunrisers Mia and Veekas, Professor Matt Huber, and Congressman Adriano Espaillat (NY-13).  You may have heard of the Green New Deal or the Civilian Climate Corps and thought, “what does that mean for me and my community?” After hearing the news from the IPCC report, you might be wondering how to put political pressure on your representatives to pass climate legislation or secure funding for green energy in our infrastructure bill. We can and we must get millions of people back to work in good-paying jobs building a sustainable, just, and people-centered economy. But what does a just transition for unions and other workers look like? How can organizers help push this legislation? How can you get involved in the movement? Listen in and learn about how Good Jobs for All works for you and your future, how to put pressure on your politicians, how to get your community involved, and more! ––– A transcript of this episode is available on our website.
