During the meeting on Saturday May 2nd,we came up with a general canvas for what we need to do to organize the Clean Energy Job Day on May 28th.
On Wed. May 6th at 8:00pm we will have an Organizing Conference Call with all of you who could not attend the meeting and we'll iron out the final details.
Please join our Organizing Conference Call this Wednesday to help out with this effort. Even if you can't attend the event on May 28th, we would be very grateful if you could help us out by making a few phone calls.
General ideas for the Clean Energy Job Day.
The goal of this event is to pressure congress to strenghten and support the clean energy jobs legislation. This event will take place on May 28th around 10am. We'll showcase at least 3 clean energy businesses. We'll ask the businesses to give our delegation a tour and we'll try to get media coverage for the event.We'll take pictures during the tour.We'll send the pictures and comments to legislators.
We need help from our members
· We need somebody to call the businesses and ask them if they are interested in participating and showcasing their business
· We need somebody to call the media and get them to the event (our media coordinator will help with calls details and a list of media outlets we need to call)
· We need members to call other community groups, unions, political groups to ask them for their support and if they can send some somebody to join us during the event
· We need to identify speakers who will explain to the attendees and the media what this action is all about.
· We need to have at least 15 people attending on May 28th around 10:00am, which is a Thursday and might be a tough day to take off from work
All these calls need to happen within 10 days, but they should not take much time.
Please join our Organizing Conference Call this Wednesday to help out with this effort.
Even if you can't attend the event yourself we will very grateful if you could help us out by making a few phone calls.

I want to get on the call. I'll be at work and can't access blogspot. Can someone call my cell 201 274 3241 with the call in info?
ReplyDeleteThanks
If I'm not on the call, I'm willing to contact potential businesses. I'll need details of what they should do on 5/28. I know a solar installer in Hoboken (Rob Armstrong, AeonSolar) that is good at talking.
Also, the Hudson County Incinerator Authority is doing more, and a NJ bill E-Waste was passed so there will be more recycling of electronics, etc. in NJ soon. I think someone at the Incinerator Auth would be willing to talk, but maybe you want to focus on small businesses.
Also, do we want to showcase organic/natural businesses, making the point that this saves energy by being easier on the planet, uses less petroleum products, is healthier and thus less health care costs, etc? I know two businesses downtown JC that might fit this bill.
Or should we focus purely on Energy Efficiency and Renewables?
