Join us for a lively discussion on green jobs, transitions to a "green" economy and the relationship to racial, environmental and economic justice.

With Ian Kim, Green Collar Jobs Campaign Director at the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights, and respondents from the labor and environmental justice movements

Panelists and participants will discuss questions such as:
  • Can a green jobs movement organize towards good jobs for under and unemployed workers while staving off environmental catastrophe?
  • How do we address the need to fundamentally transform our economy and societies while fighting for reforms such as jobs and housing?
  • How does the environmental justice movement relate to the green jobs movement?
  • What are the implications of this "green economic transition" for people in the global south? What perspectives from the global south do we need to take into account?
