Dream Reborn: Sold Out Show

0 comments

Less than three days to go until the Dream Reborn "Green Jobs" march and conference in Memphis Tennessee. Just got an e-mail from Josh saying there is a waiting list. Phew, glad I registered early.

Here is what he has to say:
We are full up with over 1000 change makers from Arctic Village, Alaska to Miami, Florida. We have over 100 presenters and performing artists coming from across the nation. This is a first-ever gathering of so many people committed to building a new green world that works for everyone.

Green Jobs Now: Ruffle the tailfeathers of your Senator

Power Shift 07 067

Rile up your Senator tomorrow. You know why?
Full Funding of the Green Jobs Act has a chance on the Senate floor tomorrow!

Senator Bernie Sanders is going to offer an amendment on the floor tomorrow to the economic stimulus package, asking for them to add in full funding of the Green Jobs Act. This title was included in the 2007 Energy Bill but has yet to be funded. Tell Congress it's time to "GO GREEN AND GO EQUAL in the stimulus package: fund the Green Jobs Act tomorrow and support the Sanders Amendment!"

Here's the skinny:

1. Call your Senator's DC office. Contact info available here: http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm

2. Ask to speak with the staff person working on the Economic Stimulus Package.

3. Ask for your senator to support the Sanders Amendment to fully fund the green job workforce training program.

On a related note: the Senate has included extensions of critical clean energy incentives in their version of the Stimulus Package, heading to the floor tomorrow. If we get the Green Jobs Act funded, we'll have a clean, green stimulus that'll help us on a path to a sustainable, just, and prosperous future! Spread the word!

Green For All!
