We have to stay fired up to push our government to do its job… namely, putting millions of people into good jobs and answering the urgent needs of our communities. Chris Rabb and ColorLines profile three of the Applied Research Center’s Green Equity Case Studies in New York City, Los Angeles and the Navajo Nation. These successful campaigns improve local communities while helping the planet. Shown together, they point towards a winning formula for jobs creation: green equity + grassroots + good government. The Green Equity Toolkit provides successful practical ways for community, labor, and civic organizations and activists to win equity and inclusion in the green economy.
