Dispatch from the Apollo Summit (email excerpt from the Apollo Alliance)

[pinto]

Dear friend

In late February, the Apollo Alliance held a national summit for key members of our diverse coalition to build cohesion and share ideas. Over 150 leaders from business, environmental, labor, and social justice communities gathered in Washington, DC to discuss Apollo’s agenda for clean energy and good jobs. In addition to coalition leaders, a number of elected officials participated, including :

Mayor Douglas Palmer (D-Trenton, NJ),
Representative Jay Inslee (D-WA),
Senators Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Hillary Clinton (D-NY), along with
Governors Ed Rendell (D-PA), Bill Ritter (D-CO), Deval Patrick (D-MA),
Kathleen Sebelius (D-KS), Christine Gregoire (D-WA),and Joe Manchin III (D-WV).

Videos and pictures from the summit can be found on our website.

Built around Apollo’s “Four-Point Initiative for Clean Energy and Good Jobs”, the summit focused on: bio-fuels and efficient, advanced technology vehicles; clean power; high performance buildings; and a new urban agenda for equitable green development.
