On March 2nd at 6 p.m., join us for the Worker Power for Climate, Jobs, and Justice Town Hall.
In this special event, you will hear from labor and climate leaders, on how climate change impacts workers and how we can move New York toward a renewable energy economy through the Climate Act and the new Climate, Jobs, and Justice Legislative Package.
I will be one of the speakers at the event and will be on a panel along with labor leaders from other unions including DC37, UWUA, NYSNA, and UAW 9A.
The labor movement and the climate justice movement worked together to pass the groundbreaking Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA, 2019), creating the most aggressive climate mandates in the country. The Climate, Jobs & Justice Package (CJJP) is the next step needed to reach those climate goals.
