John —
Imagine you’ve served your time, and now you’re home from behind bars. Now what?
For starters, finding a job is no easy task.
60% of recently released people can't find a job for a year or more.
And if you do land a gig, chances are it won’t pay well.
$13,890 average employee income one year after incarceration.
None of that helps people land back on their feet after re-entering society. But here’s the good news: Every year, there are more and more green jobs in America.
Solar jobs are growing fast. 162,126 jobs and it continuing!
Imagine people coming home from prisons and jails, and landing on their feet in well-paying, local green jobs.
Solar created 7,000 U.S. jobs in the last year.
It’s called a “green re-entry,” and it helps people who were formerly incarcerated, our economy, and everyone who lives on this planet — which is, you know, all of us.
How do we make it possible? Our recently released Green Re-Entry report includes a plan for that:
-Inclusive federal investment.
-Green jobs curriculum in anti-recidivism programming.
-Fund wrap-around supportive services.
-Remove unnecessary job restrictions.
-Expand program reach, particularly in rural communities.
In other words:
#GREENJOBSNOTJAILS
There is only one missing piece: You. Will you help spread the word about the potential of a green re-entry?
