The event, co-hosted by Sierra Club, the BlueGreen Alliance, Industrious Labs, and Mighty Earth will feature speakers discussing their visions for a clean manufacturing sector in Michigan and why getting trade deals right is essential to underpinning this future.
This event will bring together community members, workers, labor activists, environmental advocates, and others who care about building a just transition for workers and communities.
