At CUE:
Will green jobs really change the way we operate?
Will the climate crisis be overshadowed by the economic crisis?
Where does the new administration stand on issues of the environment anyway?Thursday January 15, 2009
Join us at our monthly “Third Thursday” forum to discuss post-election strategies and campaigns around environmental issues. Listen in as experts dissect the recent election’s impact on national, state and local environmental politics-including the role youth will play in ushering in a new clean energy economy by holding our newly elected officials to their campaign promises and demanding real solutions to the climate crisis.
Come to CUE’s Third Thursday to network, learn more, and take action.
