"Elections are about Us"

As part of our Building a Greener Governor campaign, we’ve launched GreenGov2010.org to hear from voters across California about how the next governor should lead on the environment. (Sign up as an environmental champ and post your thoughts on the gubernatorial race!)

We’re also posting news updates and videos from people we think have an interesting take on the November election, now just nine months away.

One person we recently talked to is longtime union and community organizer Javier Gonzalez. Javier is currently Executive Director of SOL (Strengthening Our Lives), based in Los Angeles. He spoke with CLCV’s Jenesse Miller about the environmental issues that are important to Latinos, some specific solutions to our environmental problems, and interesting experiences he’s had registering voters in California. Check it out right here or at GreenGov2010.org.
