On Saturday, September 27, the Ella Baker Center and a bunch of our friends are throwing an afternoon concert, featuring the funky soul music of Bay Area's rising star Femi!  As part of the "Green Jobs Now" National Day of Action, organized by our allies Green For All, 1 Sky, and the We Campaign, this event is one of hundreds -- involving thousands of people -- happening simultaneously around the country. Our event in Oakland will be one of the biggest. We want to send our local officials, Congress and the next President a clear message: Oakland -- along with cities throughout the US -- is ready for Green Jobs NOW!

Join us for free food, inspiring testimonials to celebrate green jobs, and a showcase of solutions for youth and young adults in the green economy. We're expecting hundreds of people to come out and enjoy sun, food, and inspiration.  To demonstrate just how big this movement has become, we'll also take a giant group photo -- and we want you to be part of the picture.  Can you make it?

WHAT: Green Jobs Now! A free concert featuring Femi, and testimonials from youth that showcase opportunities and solutions in the green economy.
PLUS: Be ready for a GIANT GROUP PHOTO!
WHEN: Saturday, September 27, 1-4pm. Concert and program begins at 1pm, giant group photo at 3pm.
WHERE: Mosswood Park in Oakland, at Broadway and West MacArthur Blvd. (map)

RSVP NOW

Can your organization co-sponsor the Green Jobs Now National Day of Action?
It's not too late to co-sponsor the event. Organizations can become co-sponsors by helping with turnout (20 people or more), bringing food to share (for 40 people or more), or making a $200 donation (or more) to help cover the cost of the event. Let Emily know.

It's time to make green-collar jobs a priority as election season shifts into high gear.  We need to send a statement that can't be ignored.  Please join us on Saturday, September 27th and bring your friends!

Sincerely,

Ian, Emily, Aaron, Nwamaka and the Green-Collar Jobs Campaign team
