October 26, 10 AM PT -
Melinda Cheel, Executive Director of the Green Chamber of Commerce will present an analysis of the current U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which has historically been an anti-environmental lobbying organization representing big business and polluting industries (one of its Board members is Don Blankenship, CEO of Massey Energy, whose West Virginia coal mine was cited for hundreds of safety violations it chose to pay but not rectify before an explosion occurred in April 2010, killing 29 workers). The need is clear to have a political voice for businesses in the new economy, and Ms. Cheel will outline her organization's plan to represent business support for progressive legislation and policy.
