Overview
This grant will allow the BlueGreen Alliance Foundation to continue helping labor and environmental organizations forge a common agenda and speak with a united voice on climate and energy issues. In 2019, the organization will focus on campaigns to ensure that America leads the world in manufacturing and deploying the next generation of clean energy and vehicle technologies, while improving jobs and community well-being in order to build a broader, stronger movement for climate solutions. By bringing together union members and environmentalists, BlueGreen injects a perspective of shared economic prosperity into the debates around solving environmental challenges, lifts up new and credible voices, and builds "a path to yes" for state and federal policymakers.
