AFL-CIO Climate, Equity, and Jobs Convening Kickoff
Monday, April 22
10:00 AM–11:30 AM
This roundtable series will start by exploring the impacts of the climate crisis on workers, on our jobs and on our communities. In subsequent meetings, we will explore responses, including measures to secure worker safety on the job, build the workforce we need across the public and private sectors, and protect communities through investments in disaster relief and response, adaptation and resilience, and climate-ready infrastructure.
The AFL-CIO will bring together union leaders and members, climate and environmental justice organizations, civil rights and civil society organizations, White House and federal senior officials and staff, historically Black colleges and universities and minority serving institutions, clergy and more.
