The Sustainable Jobs Act has passed in the House of Commons but is now being considered in the Senate. We need Senators to review the legislation swiftly so that we can start developing strategies, policies, and programs to ensure workers and communities are supported as we transition to a low-carbon economy. There is a lot of work ahead and it’s essential that workers have a seat at the table to contribute their expertise and ensure their rights are respected.
Climate change is the biggest challenge of our time. Between severe wildfires and flooding, heat waves and drought, food insecurity, melting sea ice and permafrost, and air and water pollution, communities right across the country are experiencing the effects of climate change. Not everyone is affected equally. The climate crisis threatens to make existing inequities worse. But it is not too late to act. We can all take actions in our households, workplaces, and communities to foster sustainability. And, when we work together, we can pressure our elected officials, employers, and businesses to step up to tackle the climate crisis.
We need your help to ensure the Sustainable Jobs Act gets passed in the Senate! Your voice is more important than ever! This legislation is long overdue. We need workers at the table to develop the ways to transition to a low-carbon economy. This bill is critical to making that happen. Add your voice!
The climate crisis is affecting everyone. That includes workers in their jobs and workplaces. As workers, we have a birds eye view of what is happening to our communities. We need to share our perspective, and our solutions to mitigate the impact of climate change. And that starts with sharing our stories. • How are you seeing the effects of climate change in your job? • Is it making your job more difficult, or creating new challenges? • Do you have ideas for how to tackle these issues? By sharing your story, you can help inform, educate, and inspire others to tackle climate change everywhere!
