CEO of the Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Los Angeles to Scale Innovative Retrofit and Green Job Training Programs
[OAKLAND, CA] – Green For All today announced that Cecilia V. Estolano will join the national organization, which advocates for broad access and opportunity in the clean- energy economy. Estolano, CEO of the Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Los Angeles (CRA/LA), will spearhead Green For All’s effort to scale public-private partnerships that grow family-supporting, green jobs in cities across the country.
Today, the Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act, which lays the groundwork for a clean-energy economy, was introduced in the Senate by Senators Barbara Boxer (D-CA) and John Kerry (D-MA). The legislation includes two important provisions.
Today the House of Representatives passed the American Clean Energy & Security Act, a bill that will ensure that a diversity of Americans have access to green, career-path jobs. The statement from Green For All CEO, Phaedra Ellis-Lamkins, follows.
Many of us know the story of Green For All. It’s a beautiful congruence of old school environmentalism, sustainable economic development, and social justice. It’s one of the great feel-good stories of the new economy.
So where is Green For All now? Phaedra Ellis-Lamkins spoke to the Green Business Conference about their vision for the future.
