This Earth Day marks a turning point in the environmental movement, with union members speaking out more than ever before for "good jobs, green jobs" and a clean energy economy.

Blue Green Alliance partners, including SEIU, said today that working people are the new faces of Earth Day, and that Congress must pass the Employee Free Choice Act to ensure jobs in the clean energy economy are good, family-supporting green jobs. "Union members are already building the green economy, from New York to Minnesota to California," said SEIU Executive VP Gerry Hudson. "In the face of crisis, we have an opportunity to create the kinds of jobs that connect environmental protection and economic justice in communities across the country."
