The Green-Collar Stimulus: Alliances to Strengthen our Economy, our Communities, and our Environment February 17, 2009; as posted to Racewire Ian Kim of the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights calls for advocacy groups to join forces, to ensure that the stimulus money gets put into green-collar jobs initiatives at all levels of government, to strengthen our most vulnerable communities, and to create sustainable industries for our new century. Ian lays it out: “We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to get it right — to forge real working partnerships between community-based and racial justice advocates and organized labor, and intervene in the way that money gets used, this year, in a green way and in an equitable way.” Check out the Ella Baker Center’s green-collar jobs campaign.
