On Saturday, September 27, Massachusetts Green Jobs Coalition and nationwide partners in the Green Jobs Now! Coalition are launching a mobilization to say, "I'm ready for the green economy." We are ready to tackle the climate crisis by building a green economy strong enough to lift people out of poverty.

Green Jobs Now! is a National Day of Action that will empower everyday people to stage hundreds of grassroots events throughout the country. The day will have a special focus on low-income communities, communities of color and indigenous people. This will send a message to our leaders that, when it comes to creating green jobs for a more sustainable economy, PEOPLE ARE READY!

Festivities will begin on the steps of Cambridge City Hall at 10:30 am- noon, and on the Boston Common, they will begin at 3-5 pm, followed by a Celebration until 7pm.

At both locations there will be an array of dynamic community leaders, elected officials, guest speakers, fun local music, BioTour's Vegetable Oil Powered Bus, and other entertainment.

Saturday September 27
10:30 a.m. to noon at Cambridge City Hall
3:00 to 7:00 p.m. on the Boston Common
