NEW @cplusc.bsky.social: A New Era of Manufacturing for Public Good: The Case for the CA Grid Manufacturing Initiative In CA, labor-led green industrial policy is the way out of chronic delays and skyrocketing costs for electric grid components that burden ratepayers and slow the green transition.

At the United for Green Schools panel for NYC climate week. Great story from a Chicago school board member on how there was a resolution passed in June to do 12 green school pilots, creating a revolving fund for new money for these protects.

In a world riven by inequality and devastated by climate + ecological crisis, what would it take for "green industrial policy" to empower the working class in Global North + South, and be truly green? New @cplusc.bsky.social report by me and Isabel Estevez (1/3) t.co/78sQQe4d1g

Somehow this NYT piece “dissecting” @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social ‘s schools agenda fully erased the campaign’s detailed plan for green, healthy schools, which can be read in full on the campaign site: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

The climate crisis is a catastrophe we cannot afford to ignore, means-test, or isolate as an “add-on” to other problems. Workers and tenants across the country understand that, and are advancing green economic populism at home and at work. So fun to get to dig into it w/ @batul.bsky.social.

Labor and tenant unions can not only win climate objectives as well as economic ones but also build their bases through them. Chicago's @ctulocal1.bsky.social and Southside Together show us how, as recounted in this piece by @cplusc.bsky.social's @ruthygourevitch.bsky.social and @batul.bsky.social.

Vienna is the global capital of social housing, and is regularly ranked as the world's most livable city. Our new report, featured in this @npr.org exclusive, explores Vienna’s green social housing—home to the majority of its renters—and how it can work here. www.npr.org/2025/06/15/n...

npr.org

Could this city be the model for how to tackle the housing crisis and climate change?

Vienna has a way to make affordable housing and combat climate change all at the same time. Now U.S. cities want in, and they're building their own green housing.

Batul Hassan: "War is a defining feature, not a bug, of the extractive economy. We can't decarbonize without demilitarizing. The climate left has begun to take up the fact these military activities are meant to destroy. We need to be transitioning from a war economy to a peace economy."
