[SEMCO] Environment and Racial Justice (Sept. 24)

[Murphydalzell at aol.com]

Coastal windfarms and other new projects have often been discussed.
 
Who benefits and who pays the price for changes in the coastal  environment?
 
Take a look at _www.greenjobsnow.com_ (http://www.greenjobsnow.com)  
 
During the next few days,   people of color and low-income people  in New 
Bedford,  Boston, and other coastal communities, will join together  to talk 
about changes in the environment and the need for "green  jobs."       How do we 
lift local people out of  poverty while protecting coastal areas?
 
On Cape Cod,  the "green jobs" program will be introduced on  Wednesday,  
9/24.
 
A movie interview with Van Jones will be shown on Wednesday  night.....  Van 
Jones is the
community organizer who has helped to build the "green jobs"  campaign.
 
The movie will be shown at the Unitarian Universalist church, 840 Sandwich  
Road, in
East Falmouth...  The movie will begin at 7:00 pm....  Free  admission.    
All people are invited....  The building is  easily accessible for people with 
disabilities....  TELEPHONE:  (508)  457-0449.
 
The Sierra Club's Cape Cod and Islands Group  is a co-sponsor of this  event.
