Green Jobs, Healthy Communities: Building a Green-Collar Economy

The California Endowment's Center for Healthy Communities

Los Angeles, CA 90012

Across the country, a movement for a green recovery to heal our economy and lift up impoverished communities is taking shape. Join us for a discussion with with Phaedra Ellis-Lamkins, CEO of Green for All, to find out if we can create pathways out of poverty through a green-collar economy. She will share how her organization is working to create healthier and more prosperous communities through green jobs, and what you can do to stand up for people and the planet.

Ellis-Lamkins took over Green for All in March when founder Van Jones joined President Barack Obama's administration as special advisor for green jobs. Her background is in labor, health care and economic development.
