Congress must develop an economic stimulus package focused on working people and the public good.
The BlueGreen Alliance unites America’s largest labor unions and its most influential environmental organizations to solve today’s environmental challenges in ways that create and maintain quality jobs and build a stronger, fairer economy.
about the impacts of climate change and the job-creating opportunities of environmental protections.
between environmentalists, union members and other stakeholders on shared goals.
for good jobs, a clean environment, and a thriving and fair economy.
Americans don’t have to choose between creating good jobs and protecting the environment. We can and must do both.
Innovating, building and installing the clean economy—clean energy, energy efficiency, safe chemicals, and clean vehicles—is protecting the environment while creating quality jobs across the country and ensuring the health of workers and the environment.
Solidarity for Climate Action is our plan to put working people front and center as we create a new economy: one that values our work, our families, our communities, and our environment.
Repairing America's infrastructure is a significant opportunity to create quality jobs. But it's also an opportunity to rebuild these systems to protect the health of workers and communities, to reduce carbon and methane emissions, and to build a stronger, more resilient system for the future.
Buy Clean policies promote spending taxpayer dollars on infrastructure supplies for materials that are manufactured in a cleaner, more efficient, climate friendly manner—helping to close the carbon loophole and rewarding companies that are doing things the right way. The BlueGreen Alliance launched a multi-state campaign to expand Buy Clean work to Washington, Oregon, and Minnesota and continue implementation efforts in California.
We can only achieve a thriving and fair clean economy if our international trade and climate agreements raise standards for workers, consumers, and the environment.
Throughout our history, the BlueGreen Alliance has worked not just domestically, but also on the international stage with leaders of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to find solutions for climate change that also create economic opportunity and a just transition for those impacted by this move to a clean, low-carbon economy.
Let policymakers know you support Solidarity for Climate Action, our plan to put working people front and center as we create a new economy: one that values our work, our families, our communities, and our environment.
The Trump administration is expected tomorrow to release a rule dramatically weakening the nation’s globally competitive fuel economy and vehicle greenhouse gas emissions standards. A BlueGreen Alliance analysis estimated a rollback of the standards could cost at least 90,000 future jobs in American manufacturing.
The U.S. House of Representatives today passed the latest step forward to aid workers and families. Following the vote, the BlueGreen Alliance released a statement from Executive Director Jason Walsh:
The U.S. Senate passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, a legislative package in response to the COVID-19 pandemic that includes added accountability for taxpayer funds that would go to companies; bolsters unemployment compensation; and directs urgently needed help to hospitals, schools, and millions of Americans, among other provisions.
Help us identify ways to turn today’s environmental challenges into job-creating and economic opportunities!
The Trump administration is taking action to deeply weaken America’s world-leading fuel economy and vehicle greenhouse gas standards. That action is bad for workers and the economy.
Congress took the first major step last week to address the immediate economic impacts of the Coronavirus pandemic when it passed legislation to provide paid time off to some workers and boost unemployment insurance, among other measures.
As a coalition of some of the nation’s largest labor unions and environmental organizations, collectively representing millions of members and supporters, the BlueGreen Alliance thanks you for advancing the Families First Coronavirus Response Act to provide critical relief during this crisis.
