I’m happy you all dig it and my hope is that it will encourage even more to step forward in the green public forum and speak to the need for a more holistic “green agenda”. One Love for ALL.

The things you say in this video are great, and the thing that got me into the piece even more was the way the information was presented. It was done with just the right balance of anger and sadness over what “mainstream” climate groups had done (or rather, not done) to marginalize the climate justice issues in the bill.
Great stuff!

Well said–though I’m curious if this was made before the key equity provisions were added (including Bobby Rush’s essential green-construction careers-demonstration program). Certainly far from a perfect bill, but these made it a lot more palatable, no? J&J Politics had a good breakdown: http://www.jackandjillpolitics.com/2009/06/green-jobs-for-black-people-victory-in-the-house/

It’s ridiculous to think that we’re going to achieve climate justice with the oppressive tactics of the past. One more reason not to compromise on a climate bill…
