COWS’ Sarah White will present as part of a panel at the Good Jobs Green Jobs 2013 Conference. Join this workshop for a straight-shooting conversation on the politics of climate change, economic inequality, and human capital. Some allies argue that “green jobs” is now a tired — even toxic — phrase that inspires disillusionment instead of hope. This workshop will offer an antidote: new models for greening communities, firms, and economic sectors, as well as promising experiments in worker-led industry transformation. For those lost in the daily struggle of navigating the snarled policy and underfunded practice of workforce development, this workshop will offer a larger vision that considers some creative ways that labor, education, and community groups can deliver skills to build more resilient and democratic institutions.
