November Program Topic:
The Texas Climate Jobs Project: Advancing a Pro-climate, Pro-worker Agenda

Our speaker on November 14, will be Christopher Gomez, Community Outreach Coordinator for the Texas Climate Jobs Project.

The Texas Climate Jobs Project and labor unions are working together to help lead on climate change. Their plans work to address the climate crisis and create jobs that benefit workers and their communities. The goal is to build a better, more sustainable future for all, including workers, families, and all of Texas. Everyone has a stake in our clean energy transition in Texas.

About the Texas Climate Jobs Project from their website:
"Texas Climate Jobs Project is a coalition of labor unions across the state working to ensure the voices of working people are at the center of Texas’s transition toward a clean energy economy. Through innovative research and policy development; popular education; workforce development; community engagement; advocacy; and
strategic coalition building and partnerships, Texas Climate Jobs Project is engaging in collective action to protect the climate and create good local jobs."

"Working people in Texas are hurting. The gap between the wealthiest people in the state and the working population is growing. And as climate change leads to more severe conditions, workers are hit the hardest."

"The Texas Climate Jobs Project and labor unions are demanding climate action and support for Texas workers. We have a plan to help solve the climate crisis while creating millions of union jobs that sustain our families and communities."
