Urge congress to vote for Green Collar Jobs!

   Mon, July 30, 2007 - 10:59 AM
Something unusual is happening in Washington. Legislation that will create "green pathways out of poverty" while fighting global warming is poised to pass through Congress. And we need your help to make sure this groundbreaking bill gets the green light from Congress.

This week, the U.S. House of Representatives will vote on the revolutionary Green Jobs Act of 2007. This bill will provide millions of dollars for "green-collar" job training nationwide. Focused on the clean and renewable energy sectors, these jobs will help fight both pollution and poverty at the same time.

You can help make history -- please ask your representative to vote in favor of the Green Jobs Act of 2007 (HR 2847). It really makes a difference when representatives in DC hear from people like you, so make your voice heard before next week's vote!
