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.

Solidarity for Climate Action: The Plan We Need to Get American Manufacturing Back on Track

Manufacturing towns dot the nation, and advanced manufacturing helps provide the foundation for the economy in major regions of the United States. Industries like the steel and automotive industries supported good-paying jobs, middle-class families, and prosperous communities for decades, while also spurring American leadership in innovation and technology. That’s still true in some areas. But in many others, factories have closed or new industries offer jobs that all too often are poorly paid, insecure, or unsafe.

Securing better and more stable working conditions in our airports will not only advance a just economy, but will support this essential workforce in providing a 21st century transportation system to keep passengers safe and on-time.

The BlueGreen Alliance Responds to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service’s Request for Comments on Elective Payments of Applicable Credits and Transfer of Certain Clean Energy Tax Credits Included in the Inflation Reduction Act

Public schools, state colleges, public universities, public hospitals, and public power utilities are very interested in reducing carbon emissions through the utilization of clean energy tax credits. Further, many state universities and other instrumentalities produce their own power and could benefit greatly from the investment or production tax credits. It is critical to ensure these entities can benefit from direct-pay subsidies in the Inflation Reduction Act.
