Wiegand Room, Arts and Sciences Building

The Green For All (GFA) movement was initiated by activists and policy makers to give special attention to the intersection of pollution reduction policies, economic development and anti-poverty initiatives in communities with chronic unemployment and underemployment.

GFA activists insist that pollution reduction policies and emerging opportunities in the clean energy economy should be anchored in racial equity and an economic inclusive agenda that provides employment opportunities for residents of economically distressed communities.

Dr. Franklin's lecture examines green job initiatives in more than 80 municipalities.
