We're working with Congress to promote climate, jobs, and justice while Cooper's DEQ nomination advances, Duke Energy's politicking is muzzled, but so are voting rights — this and more in your CIB for the week of August 23rd, John.
Jouley Jolts Jobs
Last week, we held a press conference with Congresswoman Kathy Manning, the NC State AFL-CIO, and other local labor and climate leaders, highlighting electric buses made in High Point with union labor and urging Congress to tackle climate with jobs and justice. Check out video and photos below!

Join our Foundation on Facebook Live Thursday at 1 pm for a Lunch and Learn with Congresswoman Deborah Ross, national LCV staff, and our PowerUp NC and Power the Vote organizing teams to hear about the job-creating, money-saving power of home weatherization assistance programs.
Biser Set for DEQ Confirmation
Last week, two state Senate committees unanimously advanced Gov. Cooper's nomination of Elizabeth Biser toward full confirmation as DEQ Secretary.
