New federal legislation (i.e., Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, Inflation Reduction Act, CHIPS and Science Act) is currently and will continue to deliver over a trillion dollars in new investments in states and localities. These historic investments have the potential to reshape local and regional economies, while creating good jobs, accelerating the transition to a green economy, strengthening and building supply chains, and rebuilding aging infrastructure. To untap the full potential of these investments, localities will need strong partnerships between communities, labor unions, worker organizations, employers, the workforce system, philanthropy and government. Please join us for this session to learn, share and explore more about the opportunities of building effective and durable coalitions and partnerships with lessons from Cleveland and across the nation.\r\n\r\nPronita Gupta is a Senior Fellow at Workshop focused on labor and worker rights issues.
