9/27: Green Jobs Now National Day of Action

From the GreenJobsNow website:

On September 26, we will watch the first presidential debate of this election.

The next day, the candidates will watch us.

On Saturday, September 27, we're launching a national mobilization to say, "I'm ready for the green economy." We are ready to tackle the climate crisis by building a green economy strong enough to lift people out of poverty.

Green Jobs Now is a National Day of Action that will
empower everyday people to stage hundreds of grassroots events
throughout the country. We will have a special focus on low-income
communities, communities of color and indigenous people. This
will send a message to our leaders that, when it comes to creating
green jobs for a more sustainable economy, PEOPLE ARE READY!

Right now, there are millions of people ready to work and countless
jobs to be done that will strengthen our economy at home. There are
thousands of buildings that need to be weatherized, solar panels to be
installed, and wind turbines to be erected. There are communities that
need local and sustainable food and people ready to farm the crops.
There are public transit systems and smart electricity grids in need of
engineers and electricians. Americans are ready to build the new
economy. It's time to invest in saving the planet and the people. It's time for green jobs now!
