Getting Ready for Wednesday

Chicago may be the Windy City, but Pittsburgh can be a leader in wind energy and other clean energy opportunities. (To say nothing of six Super Bowl titles to 'Da Bears' one.)

Three days remain until the Made in America Clean Energy Jobs Rally and Concert at Pittsburgh's Point State Park. On Wednesday night, thousands of Pennsylvanians will join the Alliance for Climate Protection, United Steelworkers and the Blue Green Alliance for a rally and concert to voice their support for the American Clean Energy and Security Act.

Music will be provided by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Big Head Todd and the Monsters, Kathy Mattea and a few local favorites. Also on hand will be Gov. Ed Rendell, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, USW President Leo Gerard, Alliance for Climate Protection CEO Maggie Fox and Sierra Club Executive Director Carl Pope.

On Sunday evening, Repower Pennsylvania's statewide team arrived in Pittsburgh ready to make sure the rally and concert Wednesday night sends a message loud and clear that Pennsylvania wants to see meaningful clean energy and climate reform enacted by Washington in order to create tens of thousands of new jobs and leave a better world for future generations.



If you haven't done so yet, RSVP for the rally here.
