Pitch in and help make Green Jobs Now a day for the history books! All you need to organize a Green Jobs Now event is a good idea, good people, and a camera. Get together with your friends and do AT LEAST two things:
- Take photos and videos of yourselves holding signs saying "I'm Ready" and "Green Jobs Now"
- Gather signatures on the "I'm Ready" petition. People can also sign the petition by texting GREENJOBS to 69866.
The more people who appear in each image, the better. The more images we get, the better. And the more people who sign the petition, the better. When we show that thousands of people are united behind one goal – "Green Jobs Now" – Congress and Presidential candidates will listen.
All events should be creative, fun, and positive. Use the suggestions from out main Event Ideas page to come up with something that works best for you. Register your event and share your ideas with other organizers across the country.
Educate yourselves while planning an event. Educate others during your event. We've got an FAQ and factsheets to help you out.
REPORT OUT ON THE NIGHT OF THE 27TH!
Whatever you do for your event, the most important step is to upload your photos and report-back to our website the night of the September 27. The next day, hundreds of images will be available – and the green jobs movement will be visible to itself and the world for the very first time. We also need to collect all the petitions, to show how many support the call for green jobs.
On the night of September 27, send copies of your petitions to:
Green Jobs Now Petition Team
1611 Telegraph Ave., Suite 600
Oakland, CA 94612.
You can also fax the petitions to: 510/663.6510
