“The Trenton Channel Power Plant offered me and my family generations of good-paying jobs. I hope the investments made through the Inflation Reduction Act extend similarly fulfilling opportunities to the next generation of workers.” detroitnews.com/story/opinion/…

“The new clean energy jobs that are coming to our community need to be as good as the coal jobs were, with family-supporting wages and good benefits. I have hope that we can get there due to the historic clean energy investments…” detroitnews.com/story/opinion/…

The NYC CLC today with broad and overwhelming support proudly endorsed Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani for Mayor of New York City following his victory in last week’s Democratic primary.
