Our Mission
The Veterans Green-Jobs Alliance (VGA) provides training opportunities for military veterans in the emerging green-collar jobs sector. Veterans Green-Jobs Training Programs across the nation will incorporate green-collar college degree programs, intensive residential training programs and veterans’ restoration corps. In addition, VGA seeks to provide a wide range of complimentary resources to assist veterans in post-war civilian reintegration. VGA will also link trained veterans to green businesses in search of new leaders through a national Green-Jobs Clearinghouse.
The VGA addresses three primary needs:
• Military veterans' need for meaningful, restorative careers
• Our country's need for a green-collar workforce
• Veterans' and veterans organizations' needs for supporting post-war civilian reintegration
By supporting both veterans and the development of a green economy, the VGA’s work is restorative to our veterans, our economy and our planet.

[hq2600] From Cynthia McKinney: I'm back home; Thanks to all of you!
Well, all I can say is "Thank you!" Your calls, faxes, protests, and prayers all made a huge difference and helped to secure our protection and our release.

For those of you who missed it, here is the statement I put out from the Israeli prison. Please forgive the undone, but needed edits. I have tried twice, now, to get into Gaza. I just got off the phone wi… Continue
