1Sky and Allies in The Nation Magazine

A nice mention of  1Sky and key allies Apollo Alliance and Green for All in and article in The Nation Magazine by Robert Pollin.

"Over the past couple of years, there has been a dramatic reversal of
thinking: the idea has emerged that protecting the environment--in
particular, defeating global warming--can also be an effective engine of
economic growth, job creation and even poverty reduction. A small band
of determined activist organizations, including the Apollo Alliance,
Green For All and 1Sky, deserve credit for pushing this idea into the
mainstream. Labor and environmental organizations like the Steelworkers
and the Natural Resources Defense Council were open to persuasion. By
the time the presidential campaign began, Hillary Clinton and Barack
Obama had both incorporated variations on this idea as major planks in
their platforms."

Robert Pollin, a professor of economics and co-director of the
Political Economy Research Institute at the University of
Massachusetts, is co-author of Green Recovery: A Program to Create Good Jobs and Start Building a Low-Carbon Economy.
