The early years of BGA focused on three main federal bills: </span></p> 461<ul> 462<li><span data-contrast="auto">The American Clean Energy and Security (ACES) Act; </span></li> 463<li><span data-contrast="auto">American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA); and </span></li> 464<li><span data-contrast="auto">the Employee Free Choice Act. </span></li> 465</ul> 466<p><span data-contrast="auto">BGA organizers worked in key statesâmostly in the industrial Midwestâto drive worker and environmental support for these three pieces of legislation. However, in the end, though both ACES and the Free Choice Act passed the House, they did not get the votes needed to overcome filibusters. Neither bill would pass and become law. </span><span data-contrast="auto">Meanwhile, BGA worked hard on the ARRAâa new piece of legislation to provide a shot of economic investment into clean energy, manufacturing, infrastructure, and more. That effort saw success and the ARRAâa sweeping $831 billion investment in the nationâs futureâ was signed into law, marking the first major federal law that BGA had a big hand in developing and pushing. </span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":276}"> </span></p> 467<p><span data-contrast="auto">That momentum continued in the 2010s to now, when the organization geared up to fight for effective policies at the state level in several key states. Key victories at the state level included the first âBuy Cleanâ law passed in the nation in California, bringing together workers and environmentalists to defeat efforts to eliminate the rights of public workers to organize into unions in Ohio, passing a Solar Energy Standard and eventually a 100% clean energy law in Minnesota, and getting a first-in-the-nation energy transition office to ensure workers and communities arenât left behind as we switch to cleaner, cheaper energy in Colorado. </span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":276}"> </span></p> 468<p><span data-contrast="auto">In the 2020s, BGA grew to meet the moment and was instrumental in the passage of key federal policies and investments in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act that are revitalizing U.S. manufacturing, reducing climate emissions, and creating good union jobs across the country.</span><span data-contrast="auto"> Now, we continue our work to ensure these investments deliver a clean, prosperous, and equitable future for all. </span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":276}"> </span></p> 469<h2>Get in Contact</h2> 470<p>General e-mail: <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a></p> 471<p>To view career opportunities at the BlueGreen Alliance, <a href="https://recruiting.paylocity.com/recruiting/jobs/All/d33784c1-2206-4056-841e-baf76e966c0d/BlueGreen-Alliance-Inc">
