The passing of recent federal legislation has ignited a massive New Deal-style era investment in the US that will seed nearly a trillion dollars in infrastructure and renewable energy projects in the coming decade by the federal government alone.   

As a result, the sustainable energy industry is on the verge of a major growth boom, cutting across existing sectors including auto-manufacturing, logistics, agriculture, and of course “energy” itself.

Donate to Jobs With Justice this December to help us leverage this once-in-a-generation opportunity to create new permanent standards that center workers in the construction and electric vehicle industries.  **A generous donor has agreed to match every donation dollar-for-dollar this December, so don’t hesitate, get your donation in TODAY.**

This massive investment will set industrial policy as a part of the overall project of just transition and climate adaptation, ultimately setting standards in the process of moving billions of dollars and incentives to companies throughout the renewable energy sector --- in particular towards new multinational electric vehicle companies that are moving operations to the US south to skirt labor protections. But who is naming the standards for these new projects, especially those impacting workers implementing these projects, at their worksites and in the communities, they reside?

At Jobs With Justice, we believe that to really build back better, our taxpayer dollars should provide historically marginalized communities with access to lifelong climate careers, not just jobs. Indeed, these mega investments will provide a renewed platform and opportunity to right historic-wrongs that excluded many BIPOC workers from having a pathway to collective bargaining and family-sustaining careers in the first place.   

Join us with a gift to Jobs With Justice TODAY if you agree that we must prioritize workers in the forthcoming clean energy revolution.
