Building Clean: Improving Efficiency, Health, and Equity in Housing and Creating Good Jobs

When buildings are designed, built, and maintained to protect the health of people and the environment—and if the manufacturing of building products and materials create good-paying union jobs in the U.S.—then the wellbeing of people and communities will improve, especially for people of color. Building Clean works to increase the use of building products that are more efficient, less toxic, and manufactured in the U.S. We aim to improve the physical, environmental, and economic health of communities and promote a more equitable future for all.

Senate GOP Budget Bill Sells Out Workers to Pad Billionaire Pockets

The U.S. Senate voted today to pass its budget bill. The Senate version of the bill claws back grant funding aiding the transition to a clean energy economy and upholds a rollback of clean energy and advanced manufacturing tax credits passed by the U.S. House of Representatives.

A new research brief released today by the BlueGreen Alliance reveals that more than two million jobs across the manufacturing employment footprint are at risk if the budget reconciliation bill recently passed by the U.S. House of Representatives becomes law.
