Creating a Just Transition Webinar
By Jeremy Brecher, Labor Network for Sustainability - July 14, 2017

How can we build "just transition" that includes a better future for workers who produce and use fossil fuels, construction workers who build fossil fuel infrastructure and communities that depend on them?
