Building Our Movement

Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison, labor leaders and environmental activists call for repair of America's infrastructure and efforts to prepare our communities for climate change and to reduce carbon pollution.

CWA Minnesota State Council President Mona Meyer joins Ellison, BlueGreen Alliance Executive Director David Foster and Minnesota section of the American Society of Civil Engineers President Seth Spychala in discussing how repairing the systems Americans rely on every day – for energy, to get from one place to another, to communicate with each other, and for clean water – will create good jobs and address climate change.
