On May 28, all over the country, we'll be organizing a Clean Energy Jobs Day -- a national day of action to turn up the heat on Congress by showing the promise of the clean energy economy to our senators and representatives, the media, and the public. We'll highlight the clean energy jobs and businesses that already exist in our communities, and we'll showcase the ways in which they could expand. During the Jobs Day, we will organize a press conference at a clean energy business, and then lorganize tours of a few other clean energy sites. We'll call on our senators or representatives to support President Obama's plan for a new energy economy.

To effectively plan for and build up to the Jobs Days, we'll hold an Organizing Meetings on May 2nd at 2:00pm.

In order to run Clean Energy Jobs Days-- we need to recruit clean energy business leaders! Click here for an outline for your conversations with clean energy business leaders in your community to invite them to join with the Council for the Clean Energy Jobs Days.
The best way to find clean energy business leaders who are willing to participate in the Jobs Day is to ask everyone on the Council to brainstorm local clean energy business leaders who they know in the community.

We also should call all of the small business leaders recruited through the Small Business drive to ask them to help recruit clean energy business leaders specifically. We can also contact members who who signed MoveOn's online petition.
