On Saturday, September 27th, 2008 participate with New Orleans non-profits & business in the Nationwide Green Jobs Now! Day of Action. People from all walks of life will organize events large and small to demonstrate to Congress, to the next President, and to the nation that we are ready to build an inclusive green economy strong enough to lift people out of poverty and solve the climate crisis.
