Climate Organizers Needed.

FROM NATIONALS FTN:

Building the clean energy future we all want demands innovative, sustained pressure from the growing climate movement. The 110th Congress has failed to act, but next year we’ll have a new Congress, a new administration in the White House and a real chance for change.

We’re building a team for Focus the Nation 2009 to organize a National Teach-in, and build Green Democracy. The teach-in will educate and mobilize millions of students and citizens at colleges, universities, high schools, faith and civic organizations and businesses. Green Democracy will culminate in campus-to-congress dialogues engaging hundreds of members of the US Congress.

Join us! Please check out our job posting for organizers, and circulate to your networks. What better place to work than Portland, Oregon – recently ranked the greenest city in the United States!
