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!
Oakland's Green Jobs Now event is co-sponsored by Alameda County Green Business Program, Bay Localize, Cypress Mandela Training Center, David Hanks Photography, DIG Coop, DJ Fuze, Full Circle Fund, Green For All, Oakland Apollo Alliance... and counting! 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 |
