In February 2006, Strategic Concepts in Organizing and Policy Education (SCOPE) convened the Los Angeles Apollo Alliance. From this, they launched a 3-5 year public policy campaign to ensure that low income communities are strategically connected to the job creation and environmental returns of an emerging green economy.
Now, on the eve of California’s March 3rd election, the Los Angeles Apollo Alliance is continuing to shape a new equitable green economy by endorsing Measure B. Please watch this video that shows officials debating Measure B in West Los Angeles on Tuesday, February 17th.
Measure B is a step towards rebuilding South LA:
-Measure B will harness the energy of the sun to power up our homes, buildings and city.
-Measure B create thousands of “green jobs.” Green jobs are good-paying American jobs that are healthy and safe for the environment. Measure B will create solar installation, assembly and manufacturing jobs here in Los Angeles.
-Measure B is an investment in our families and future. Solar energy, unlike coal and other forms of energy is clean and healthy. In the long-run, it will save our families money
