Tell the Candidates We Want Green Jobs Now!

As we discuss an unfathomable $700 billion bail out of Wall Street, we have an opportunity this weekend to talk about an investment that will actually benefit the American people, rather than an absorption of the debt of the wealthy (did I mention that Wall Street execs gave themselves $33 billion in bonuses this past year???)

This Weekend Green for All, along with a number of partners like 1Sky, is empowering ordinary citizens to do something extraordinary - speak sense (and cents) to power. The reality is that while the U.S. economy has been tanking in just about every sector, from finance to housing, the one sector that is strong and expanding is the green jobs sector. So it's time that the government invested in the kind of job training and corporate subsidies that benefit the people and the planet.  And you can be a part of making the case.

Go to the Green Jobs Now website to find an event near you or plan your own for this Saturday, September 27th. There will be every type of event imagineable, from parties to teach-ins. The point is, the green jobs sector is the one we should be investing in, the one that can make a real difference and the one that can help us out of this economic slump. So get out there on Saturday and help bring the point home that we don't want more Wall Street bail outs, we want Green Jobs Now!
