A Call to All Young Urban Leaders:

We all know that times are hard and, nowadays, we’re being forced to stretch our dollars more and more each day. We know good and well that we desperately need More Good Jobs here in Los Angeles. Lucky for us, folks, our opportunity for better jobs is here. Change is in the air and it’s called Measure B!

For those that may not know, the City of Los Angeles will be voting on Measure B this March 3rd, which will allow LADWP to install solar panels throughout the city of Los Angeles and hire folks from South LA to install them.

And, we need YOU to make Measure B happen! Join us for our weeknight phonebanks and Saturday Neighborhood Walks this February to make sure that Los Angeles leads the way in the new Green Jobs Movement that’s starting to sweep the nation. This movement is growing rapidly and it’s our future: rebuilding our national infrastructure, creating more jobs for Americans and making our world a healthier place in which to live…all at the same time. What this means to young folks in Los Angeles is More Good Jobs, Healthier Families and Long-Term lower rates for our power bills.

For more information, check out http://greenenergygoodjobsla.com

So, below, check out locations and times to join us as we talk to our neighbors about Measure B.

We can’t do this without you! (yes, YOU)
