My Telephone Conference with Van Jones, Dolores Huerta & Pam Tau Lee

by Patriot Daily News Clearinghouse

I was one of the bloggers invited to participate in this telephone press conference with these three advocates of human rights and environmental justice.

It was announced at this press conference that Van Jones, Dolores Huerta and Pam Tau Lee have joined the fight against Proposition 23.  The three endorsed Communities United Against the Dirty Energy Prop, a grassroots coalition established to engage low income Californians and communities of color against Prop 23, the ballot measure written to nix in California our climate change law, AB 32.

The message from the phone conference was that Prop 23 is a very underhanded measure designed to continue pollution that is now harming our health, and to protect Big Oil from having to compete with green energy investments that are now booming in California. It is not a job protector but a destroyer of jobs and good health.
