Climate Progress: Good Jobs, Green Jobs Conference

Tomorrow, over four thousand union members, community activists, business leaders, and environmentalists will converge on Washington DC for the nation's leading clean energy jobs summit. The 2010 Good Jobs, Green Jobs National Conference will highlight the urgency of building a clean energy economy that lays a foundation of good jobs for working families and invests in strong communities.

The Center for American Progress is honored to join these thousands of workers and organizers along with national leaders such as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Labor Secretary Hilda L. Solis, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, Energy Secretary Dr. Steven Chu, Senator John Kerry, and others at this years Green Jobs summit. Together, we are calling for a comprehensive national energy strategy, that not only reigns in runaway carbon emissions, but establishes the greening of America as an engine of reinvestment, competitiveness, and economic renewal.
