We just checked in with some Green For All staff members who are scattered across the country, supporting various Green Jobs Now events... here's a very brief taste from everyone...

Meanwhile, in the Oakland office, we've been calling media outlets all morning, frantically uploading video and photo, and working to support the Ella Baker Center's local event in Mosswood Park tomorrow.

CHECK-INS

Parin (Pittsburgh) - Collecting biodiesel. Event will be solar powered by a local union. Pittsburgh is happening!
