Towards a Progressive Labor Vision for Climate Justice and Energy Transition in the Time of Trump

Description

This memorandum proposes an analysis and provisional framework around which to construct an ambitious and effective agenda for progressive labor to respond to the converging environmental crises, and to pursue a rapid, inclusive approach to energy transition and social justice. Such an agenda could serve to bring a much-needed independent union voice to policy and programmatic debates on climate change and energy within Our Revolution spaces and processes. Labor's voice in these debates frequently echoes the large energy companies on one side, or the large mainstream environmental NGOs on the other.
