On #RosaParksDay, we celebrate the civil rights activist for her tremendous bravery and leadership. At the Obama Presidential Center Museum, visitors will learn about the activists just like Rosa, whose shoulders the Obamas, and so many others, stand.

“Making sure future clean energy jobs treat workers as well as or better than fossil fuel jobs will also ease the overall transition to clean energy, which is essential for the well-being of the planet.” We agree, @neel_dhan & @voxdotcom. bit.ly/35QlVW4

Dirty energy pays more than clean energy. That’s a problem.

To outcompete Big Oil, the clean energy industry needs to unionize.
